The Hoover method involved teaching at which two institutions in 1945 and 1947?

The Hoover method was a way to teach orientation and mobility within rehabilitation settings for visually impaired veterans after World War II. In the mid-1940s, this approach was specifically taught at military and VA rehabilitation sites to support successful reintegration. The two institutions where the Hoover method was taught in 1945 and 1947 are Dibble Army General Hospital and the VA Hines Rehabilitation Center. Dibble Army General Hospital served as a military medical facility focused on rehabilitation for service members, while the Hines center (part of the VA system near Chicago) was a major veterans’ rehabilitation hub, including mobility training. These sites illustrate how O&M instruction was integrated into veteran care during that period. The other options don’t fit because they either involve non-rehabilitation hospital settings or educational/dog-training institutions not tied to the O&M program as it was implemented for veterans in those years.
