Description: Children need independent mobility. This fact remains undisputed, and literature supports how all children learn by independent mobility and exploration. Specifically, even as it regards language development, the intitaion of communication itself, is based on a person’s actual physical approach to another person. In the field of AT, students of all ages are presented with and encouraged to use computers, dedicated communication devices, tablets and smart boards. No student is expected to demonstrate mastery before they have experience, yet in powered mobility, old expectations of driving skills are required. This session is designed to assist those therapists, teachers, parents and other service providers, who truly are up to the challenge, themselves, of radically changing the ways that mobility has been “taught, encouraged or discouraged.”
