Getting in Charge of Getting Around: Principles and Skills of Active Travel for Students with a Visual Impairment

Webinar Date: Wednesday, June 7, 2023 7:00 PM EDT

Obtaining a driver’s license is a recognized symbol of independence for young adults in this nation. When a visual impairment is present, this symbol of independence may be a city bus pass or a contract with a hired driver. Instruction is essential in building skills needed to access transportation effectively and to manage adult responsibilities. Developing positive self-esteem as an active traveler and recognizing the inner satisfaction of gaining personal independence are larger goals within instruction. This presentation draws from the curriculum Finding Wheels (Corn & Rosenblum, 2020) and personal experience in accessing transportation as an active traveler.
