Travel training is a structured program designed to teach individuals how to travel safely and independently using public transportation or other modes of transportation.
Why is it Important?
Independence:It gives the individual the ability to move around their community without always depending on others. This can boost their confidence and self-reliance.
Community Integration:It allows the person to participate more fully in community activities, whether it’s attending a job, educational programs, social activities, or simply running errands.
Enhancing Life Skills: Travel training encompasses more than just using public transport; it includes understanding schedules, managing money for fares, recognizing landmarks, and interacting with others.
