Mickey Damelio was hired in 2009 and remains as the current
coordinator of the Orientation and Mobility specialization. Mr. Damelio shares
his passion and knowledge of O&M around the world – bringing a month-long
summer training program to such countries as India, Jamaica, and Vietnam
through his non-profit initiative. FSU students benefit from Mr. Damelio's
stories of international insight, and some students have volunteered to
participate in these experiences. Additionally, Mr. Damelio teaches a
signature course open to all FSU undergraduates called the "Blindness
Experience"—which is currently the second most popular class among FSU
undergraduates! In this way, our program serves to increase the visibility and
understanding of persons with visual impairment and recruit leaders to work
in the visual disabilities field.
