Adult Mobility
Learn practical skills to get where you're going with confidence.
Regardless of your age or level of vision, it’s important to be able to move safely and independently through the world. Whether you’ve experienced long-term vision impairment, a recent change in vision, or you’re gradually losing sight, Adult Mobility training offers everyday skills to keep you moving with confidence.
Adult Mobility training can support you to:
Every training program is flexible and uniquely tailored to you.
Whatever your ultimate destination – whether it’s learning the skills to travel to and from work, pick the kids up from school, or simply stroll out to check the mail every morning – Adult Mobility instructors can work with you to develop the skills so you can go where you want, when you want.
Simply put, you’ll learn to map out and understand where you’ve come from, where you plan to go, and the safest, easiest way to get there.
Each practical technique is carefully selected to keep you going towards your personal goals, both long-term and short-term.
Adult Mobility training is valuable for anyone, at any stage of life. Regardless of your age or experience, we can be there to support you in every step of your training journey. We also offer tailored Children’s Mobility services for people living with vision impairment who are under 18 years of age, to help you achieve your unique goals.
We’re always available if you need to refresh your skills or learn new mobility techniques to find your way with confidence; if your goals change over time, we adapt our support to suit your needs.
Training can range from one session to several weeks of intensive classes. Depending on the specific skills you hope to learn, you might receive training at home, learn alongside family members or co-workers, or get out and about to apply your training in the community.
We offer a full range of specialist support to enhance your independence and wellbeing. In addition to Adult Mobility training, you may benefit from:
