Mobility Training

Mobility training is offered at the Centre in a variety of ways. All new service users are given orientation training to enable them to travel safely and independently within the building from session to session. They are also made aware of the environment outside the building to enable them to gain access safely. Sighted guide training is offered to service users and their families and friends. Training is given in the use of symbol canes, guide canes and long canes in a safe indoor environment, gradually progressing to outdoors, crossing roads and using public transport.

The training is delivered by a qualified Rehabilitation Officer.
