(this is a great website; especially the section on Children is very good. Unfortunately there are many broken links, but it’s still very comprehensive)
http://www.blindchildren.org/textonly/index.html
(Some useful info on sports and games; FYI, this site is very heavy on NFB philosophy)
http://www.tsbvi.edu/orientation-a-mobility (TSBVI, of course!)
http://www.icevi.org/publications/icevix/wshops/0400.html (Useful article on O&M for children)
http://www.nfb.org/nfb/guide_dog_schools.asp

(Not specific to O&M, but they conduct useful webinars relating to accessibility)
http://www.americawalks.org/srts/
(Not specific to O&M, but they have useful info for pedestrians in general.)

http://braillesc.org/2010/10/transportation-for-nondrivers/ (Excellent article on Non-drivers and transportation)

(Again, not specific to O&M but it’s fun...you can plug in your student’s address and it analyzes the neighborhood and spits out a grade on ‘walkabilty’. It’s not all that useful as it doesn’t list all available local transportation, but as I said, it’s fun. Also, you can somewhat preview and get a sense of the neighborhood before the first visit)
