Mobility training today I : dealing with the real world

W.D. Alan Beggs

Blind Mobility Research Unit, University of Nottingham

By means of qualitative and quantitative surveys, a picture of the working life of a mobility officer (MO) in local authority employment was built up. Two major but related aspects are described. First, the diversity of the visually impaired population seeking mobility training, and second, the way in which MOs have been able to 'tune' the long cane package to suit the many low vision clients they meet. In addition, some of the enduring problems faced by MOs will be discussed.
