The current study aimed to identify the effectiveness of a training program on developing some orientation and mobility skills for blind students integrated in grade 10. The study sample consisted of 8 blind students integrated into the tenth grade at Al-Dhamma School for Secondary Education. Students responded to the orientation and mobility skills scale prepared by the researcher and a training program prepared by the researcher. A quasi-experimental approach was used for the study, and statistical methods included Cronbach’s alpha, Spearman-Brown correlation coefficient, and Wilcoxon test. The overall results indicated the effectiveness of the training program on developing some orientation and mobility skills among blind students who were integrated into the tenth grade. Considering these results, the study recommended using the training program in developing some orientation and mobility skills of blind students who are integrated in the tenth grade.Keywords: Training program; orientation and movement skills; blind.
