A Demographic Study of National Orientation and Mobility Certified Instructors

摘要

This article is a descriptive study of the demographic and economic characteristics of National Orientation and Mobility Certified Instructors (NOMC). Although the NOMC credential was established in 2001, this manuscript is the first to provide a picture of this group of professionals. Data demonstrate that 97% of certificants who responded are currently employed; teaching mobility to children, adults, and senior citizens; and earning a median annualized salary of $45,976. Other results and implications for practitioners are also presented.
