The mobility and independence needs of children with visual impairment: The development of an online resource for professionals

Abstract This poster describes two related research projects: the first explores the delivery of mobility and independence (MI and the second builds upon the findings of the first project, by developing online resources aimed at professionals and others involved in the delivery process. The first project involved drawing upon the experiences and expertise of professionals employed by services involved in the delivery of M&I education across the UK, and culminated in a number of findings and practical recommendations intended for professionals working with children in mainstream schools. The second project, funded by the NLB, took the findings and recommendations from the first project and made them into a freely available online resource, to aid professionals in assessing their own practice and to develop new or existing mobility and independence services in which they are involved.
