What You'll Learn

For persons with disabilities, their ability and skills in independently accessing the wider community need to be evaluated by occupational therapists or skilled disability support workers. This is followed by extensive assessment and training for safe mobility in the home, community and when accessing public transport.

This course will equip trainers who support persons with disabilities with tools and skills to assess service users’ level of mobility, come up with basic mobility and public transport plans and training programmes, and display awareness of the various safety and accountability considerations.
