Individualized Travel Training

• A short term, intensive, one-to-one training intended to teach people with disabilities, seniors and individuals in transition from school to travel safely and independently on fixed route public transportation in their community to a regularly visited destination, then to be able to get back  to the origin.
• Based on the individual’s skill level, the length of training will vary for each trainee
• Training consists:
  • Structured comprehensive Project Action Easter Seals Curriculum
  • Pre & Post test
  • Individualized instruction in the real environment
  • Learn the options of public transit

A FREE 12 hour Train-the-Trainer Course

• Train professionals working with youth & elderly the necessary skills to teach such individuals how to utilize public transportation
• Teaches safety, transit options, and real life travel situations
• Identify issues/barriers related to transportation and design individualized plans for the student/client for potential solutions

Based on my experience, I recognize that the accessibility and utilization of public transportation for youth with disabilities and the elderly has been consistently identified as a barrier for opportunities to be involved in the community in various ways.  Please contact me with any questions, concerns, or interest in learning more about RI’s transit options.
