Mobility is the physical ability to move safely, independently, and efficiently.
Learning and using good orientation and mobility will have lifelong implications for a child's ability to participate in social, recreational, educational, and employment opportunities. Problem solving skills Social interaction skills Physical fitness, posture, and gait Levels of independence will vary with each child. A more advanced traveller may learn to use a city bus to go to a recreational centre, or to walk alone along a rural road to visit a friend. Skill areas that require development are identified and recommendations for the orientation and mobility program are then made. Inservices with teachers and parents are available upon request.
