Elisabeth Payne

I have been working as an orientation and mobility specialist for more than 15 years, partnering with individuals, school districts, universities, private companies, and state and federal agencies across the country. My goal is simple: to help you reach your own goal of independence, whatever that looks like for you.

I work at your pace — with a little push when you're ready for it.

Please note that I use a mobility scooter for extended outdoor sessions. This does not affect my ability to provide full O&M training.

How I Can Help

  • White Cane Training

    If you have recently experienced a change in your vision, I can help you learn to use a white cane for safe and confident travel.

  • Dog Guide Services

    I assist with dog guide school applications, assessments, and patterning your dog guide.

  • Assistive Technology

    I love technology and can help you get the most out of your smartphone — iPhone or Android — and the amazing travel apps available today.

  • DC Area Orientation

    If you are new to the area, I can help you orient to your new neighborhood and to our Metrobus and Metrorail systems.
