This paper, the first of two, describes a recent research project that investigated the mobility and independence (M&I) needs of children with visual impairment who are educated in mainstream schools. It describes the background to the project, the chosen research methods and approach, and then presents the findings relating to the first aim of the project, the investigation of the key mobility and independence skills required by children with visual impairment. From the research, a mobility and independence curriculum framework was developed, and recommended to be the basis underpinning mobility and independence education provided by education services in the UK.
