An investigation into the mobility and independence needs of children with visual impairment. Part 2: The delivery of the mobility and independence curriculum

Susan Pavey

Mike McLinden

Steve McCall

This paper, the second of two, summarises findings of a recent research project looking at the mobility and independence (M&I) needs of children with visual impairment who are educated in mainstream schools. The first paper (Pavey, Douglas, McLinden & McCall, 2003) outlined the development of a mobility and independence curriculum framework recommended to be the basis of provision by services in the UK. This second paper suggests ways that these mobility and independence skills could be delivered to children within and beyond mainstream education by outlining a number of recommendations intended for agencies and professionals involved in providing such a service (either directly or in managing the service). These particularly focus upon issues of funding, development of service delivery and policy documents, management of people and agencies, and the training of professionals.
