    Description

    Whether it is dealing with virtual instruction, inclement weather, or unique learning styles, we are challenged to maintain engagement while meeting learning objectives. This session will cover the collaborative process used to develop an escape room, cane obstacle course, and more.

    Participants will:

    1. Learn creative ways to increase engagement in O&M lessons with teenagers.
    2. Learn ways to adapt interactive O&M lessons into the virtual format.
    3. Hear examples of O&M concepts incorporated into entertaining content.
