AI assistance potential
How much AI tools make the worker more capable
The primary responsibilities of Low Vision Therapists and Orientation & Mobility Specialists involve direct, hands-on, in-person instruction—such as teaching cane techniques, sensory awareness, and real-world spatial navigation to visually impaired clients. While AI can streamline administrative tasks like writing progress reports, completing assessment paperwork, and drafting rehabilitation plans, and AI-driven assistive technologies (such as smart computer vision apps and wearable navigation tools) represent devices specialists need to learn and recommend, the core therapeutic instruction remains physical, human-centric, and largely unaffected by AI automation.
What the work involves and who it suits, beyond AI.
What the two scores mean
Automation exposure is how much of the work current AI can already perform. A high score means the tasks are exposed, not that the job will disappear: how employers use that is a separate question.
AI assistance potential is how much AI tools make a worker in this occupation more capable. It is upside, not risk — a job can score high on both.
