Received for publication March 25, 2019.
The Dutch Mobility Conference was held in Zeist, The 
Netherlands on the November 30, 2018 and attend-
ed by over 250 Dutch-speaking O&M instructors. 
Organized by Koninklijke Visio, Bartimeus and De 
Robert Coppes Stichting, the aim of the conference 
was to share knowledge, new points of view and to 
socialize. The following abstracts were presented as 
presentations and workshops at the conference.
Navigating blindly
Workshop by Steven Dekker
Now-a-days navigating is easier than ever. You take 
your smartphone, open a navigation app, fill in where 
you want to go to and the app leads the way. For 
visually impaired, that may bring more freedom of 
movement. In this workshop I will give you a sum-
mary of opportunities and issues of navigating with a 
smartphone for visually impaired through providing a 
chance to experience the process yourself.
When the right for mobility is not used
Presentation by Marion van der Valk
When someone does not exercise the right for 
mobility, it may be possible that he/she is in the mid-
dle of loss processing which has a negative influence 
on initiating training. In particular, not starting training 
may be coping mechanism for a child and/or parent(s) 
being confronted with the loss of sight of the child.
Loss of visual function calls for answers from the 
child and his environment in terms of learning com-
pensating skills, perseverance, self-trust and learning 
to be confronted with the consequences of loss of 
visual functions in all areas of life. In this workshop we 
will connect mobility with loss processing and coping.
Orientation and mobility for  
everybody, including those  
with a severe multiple impairment
Workshop by Roneke van Houselt  
and Marja tap
Do people with a severe multiple impairment ever have 
mobility questions? This is not always very clear and how 
do you find this out as an O&M teacher? In recent years, 
the O&M department in Doorn Holland has worked with 
residential groups and their presentation show filmed ex-
amples and cases of teachers explaining how they sup-
port clients with a severe multiple impairment and their 
supervisors. We will also look at how to make a mobility 
plan and the supervising its progress.
Not seeing but still observing;  
the base for inclusive design in  
the outdoor space
Presentation by Marij van den Wildenberg
Which information of the surrounding area do we get in 
via our senses? What happens when we are missing one 
or more senses? What information do we miss and how 
does this influence our orientation and making choices?
Missing information through sense impairment 
may be compensated by other senses, cognitive and 
motor skill functions. Inclusive design considers this 
and generates the outdoor space in a way that every-
body can find and follow their way.

Rango, the smart shield for the  
visually impaired of all ages
Presentation by Francois Birot
GoSense (France) is very proud to present Rango, 
the brand-new 3D audio smart cane that is already 
used by 150 French visually impaired, aged 15 to 80 
years. Rango is a light and robust electronic device 
that creates a smart virtual shield in front of the user 
as soon as it is fixed on a cane. Because ease of use 
is essential in order for the device to be used by all, 
Rango reduces the number of feedback to the bare 
minimum, only identifying the obstacles that repre-
sent danger. GoSense is also very pleased to present 
Wizigo, a community-based GPS application that can 
be used simultaneously with Rango to offer safety, lo-
calization and orientation in a single solution.
Canes and tips (World Wide Vision) 
and orCam MyEye
Presentation by Rinus Zoeren and  
Jolanda Becx (World Wide Vision) and 
Michel Vloet (orCam)
This presentation discusses World Wide Vision role 
on providing information about all kind of canes, tips 
and rolling tips with a focus on material knowledge, 
product knowledge and use. There will also be in-
struction on the use of orCam MyEye 2.0, a mobile 
wireless reading machine (both nearby and faraway) 
which can be used for recognizing faces and sub-
jects, reading barcodes, money and colors and time 
notification.
Wayfindr, getting audio-based  
instructions
Workshop by Marten van Doorn
With increasing use of technology, it is now possible 
for people with a visual impairment to find their way 
independently indoors. However, uniform instructions 
for this technology need to be considered. Is it pos-
sible to formalize standard adaptations for the whole 
group?
The Wayfindr Standard focuses on indoor navi-
gation helped by digital technologies and specifically 
looks at when and what information is given and how 
it is put in words. It takes into account the great diver-
sity of visually impaired with variations in needs and 
adaptations. In this workshop we will use the Wayfindr 
to analyze a short route and suggest possible uniform 
instructions.
Mobility and young children
Workshop by Jolanda Kremer en  
Greet Hoogeveen
As soon a child learns to move, its world grows big-
ger and the adventure begins. For children with visual 
impairment however, this adventure can be associated 
with danger and thus these children may miss opportu-
nities which their fellow agers get in a natural way. How 
do you monitor these kind of development problems 
and what can we do as professionals? In this work-
shop we take a look at the developments within Visio 
and Bartimeus in case of mobility of children under six. 
We also will discuss several observation lists that may 
be of help in the exploration phase and give direction 
to the training of young children with visual impairment.
What a struggle, that outdoor 
space?
Workshop by Roy Kleise and Willy Roodhof
Most O&M instructors have encountered this: a child 
who never practices between the classes or a part-
ner who always gives a client an arm outdoors and 
does not allow them to practice their mobility skills. 
This is a significant challenge and thus this workshop 
provides a different perspective, with a parent and a 
partner present, to whom questions can be asked on 
this topic. We will also discuss family systems.
Eyebeacons – an accessible  
navigation app of the future
Workshop by Dr. Joey van der Bie  
(Hogeschool van Amsterdam) and  
Dr. Christina Jaschinski (Saxion)
In this workshop you will experience EyeBeacons: 
the accessible navigation app of the future. The app 
provides improvements on users’ interface, naviga-
tion (instructions), preparation and personalization of 
the route. The app uses new forms of feedback on a 
Smartwatch and Bone Conducting Headset. We cre-
ated this app together with people with a visual im-
pairment and O&M teachers. Experience and decide 
whether this is the navigation app of the future.

Echo localization: without bothering 
from A to B
Workshop by Nursel Günal en Carine 
Lichtenberg
This workshop explores some deeper possibilities 
of echo localization through the stories of an experi-
enced person – Nursel Günal. Nursel has been blind 
from birth and has 30 years’ experience with walk-
ing with a cane and using echo localization. She will 
share her experiences with examples from her cane 
walking practice and specifically her echo localiza-
tion. We will also look to offer echo localization in 
O&M training by professionals.
The door is open
Presentation by Ir. Fenneke Blommers 
EurErg en Maaike Swennenhuis
Someone with visual impairment must be able to 
participate in the society. For this to occur, accessi-
bility of public space and buildings are of great im-
portance. Our mission is to make every building and 
public space in Holland logical, findable and usable 
for people with visual impairment. In this workshop 
we will demonstrate some recently accessibility pro-
jects of Bartimeus including improving accessibility of 
museums, care homes and communities.
Accessible 3D scale models and 
how to make them yourself
Presentation by Ruben Brandsma
Orientation of a new building demands a lot of energy 
of someone with a visual impairment and it often can 
be complicated to form a good view of buildings and 
spaces, and routes in between. Bartimeus, Technical 
University Eindhoven and Accessibility have cooper-
ated to research the requirements of an accessible 
scale model. We will show you the outcomes of the 
project from a tactile vocabulary to testing the proto-
type with users. Finally, we show you how we made 
the prototype and how you can make one yourself.
With feet and hands
Workshop by Marjo van Welbergen,  
Peter Peek
A client has an impairment in seeing and hearing 
(deafblind) and a mental disorder. Will he succeed 
in finding his way in his home or classroom? In this 
workshop we will focus on the use of indoor guide-
lines by a female adult with innate def-blindness and a 
mental disorder. With pictures we will take you along 
in the process of the developments of this woman, 
looking at a successful tool for groping by hands 
called “space recognition.” This tool, developed by 
Bartimeus and the Department Orientation and Mo-
bility of Bartimeus has proved to be highly useful to 
orientation indoors.
People with autism and a visual im-
pairment have also right to mobility
Presentation by Anja Pouwels
Everyone with an autism spectrum disorder experiences 
the world from a different perspective, this calls for dif-
ferent treatment including mobility. In this workshop you 
learn how someone with autism experiences the world 
and what he needs in guidance and environment.
Eye-tracker: observing and applying 
effective scan behavior during the 
O&M training
Workshop by Jan Koopman and Thijs 
Kreukels
Trainer: ‘Did you see that cyclist?’
Client: ‘Yes, I did!’
Yet as a trainer, you are often left wondering: 
Was the cyclist really seen? When was he seen? Did 
the client really watch and was the cyclist really ob-
served?
In this workshop we explore the use of Eye-track-
ing during mobility training. By tracking eye move-
ment, we can know what one is looking at. We will 
also explore what this information says about visual 
awareness and how to use this information to provide 
appropriate instructions.
Social haptic communication (SHC)
Workshop by Ingrid Korenstra
People with an impairment in both hearing and see-
ing (deafblind) often experience a lack of information 
in communication with others. In particular, informa-
tion in the area of non-verbal communication, such 
as face expressions is often missed as well as space 
and area factors.
4Abstracts of the 2018 Dutch Mobility Conference
SHC concerns providing additional information 
besides the use of other forms of communication as 
spoken language, (four hands) sign language, etc., 
to provide formal communication with a deafblind 
person of important situational and emotional infor-
mation which is often not said. SHC is directed to 
translating this non-verbal information to clear grope 
messages which can be felt on one’s body. There are 
four categories in which SHC is used: emotions, de-
scribing surroundings/space and area, mobility and 
social environment. In this workshop we focus on de-
scribing surroundings/space and area and the use of 
SHC on mobility. Besides background information will 
there be room to practice haptics (grope messages) 
on the body.
Echo localization; the practical  
use within O&M training
Workshop by Juliette Hilhorst
In this workshop we will look at how you can offer 
echo localization in O&M training. The workshop 
expects you to know the basics – how to make the 
tongue-klick and understand the difference between 
active and passive echo localization and will focus 
on what is important on a route and what are useful 
spots for echo localization.
What is the language of route  
guidance in Holland?
Workshop by Frouck de Boer
Integral accessibility and “design-for-all” are popu-
lar terms, but how do we come to an integral world 
where everybody can participate in? For the visual im-
paired, moving in public space independently is often 
challenging and far from safe. So how do we come to 
a safe, predictable and clear route guidance? Recent 
practice has come to a consensus about the princi-
ples of route guidance, but how do we translate this 
knowledge to route guidance in Holland?
In this workshop we will go further into the vision 
and principles of route guidance, how to deal with 
them and potential exceptions to these principles.
Evening mobility
Workshop by Carine Lichtenberg and 
Paulien Zuidervaart
How often do you give evening mobility training? And 
how do you give content to the training? In this work-
shop we will discuss with use of statements and cas-
es which share knowledge and look at the needs of 
mobility during the evening.
Does watch training bring you further?
Workshop by Birgit van Iddekinge
By giving the client insight into his/her field of view 
loss and what that means for his/her mobility, the cli-
ent can get a better understanding of his/her possi-
bilities. During this workshop, I will show you how you 
can determine which visual strategy works best for 
your client to get a better overview of the surrounding 
area and possible obstacles.
Bicycle training for all partially  
sighted toddlers
Presentation by Francike Uringa and  
Esther van den Dungen
When do you start bicycle training with a toddler? Is 
it possible for toddlers with partial sight to start bicy-
cle training? And is such a training realistic when the 
child will never cycle in public?
In this workshop, with help of practical movies, 
examples of training materials/exercises and views 
at the development of toddlers, we will present you 
a program with which you can start training toddlers 
and hope that more partially sighted toddlers get the 
chance to learn how to cycle.
