Client assessment (mobility training) by Allan G. Dodds, W.D. Alan Beggs and David Clark-Carter. Blind Mobility Research Unit, University of Nottingham. The British Journal of Visual Impairment, Summer 1986, Vol., No. 2. The problem of assessing a client's needs in respect of mobility training is a crucial one for MOs. This paper examines the ways in which assessment is undertaken. MOs use three sorts of data to arrive at their judgements — observational, interpersonal and clinical. The results of four experiments show that these data are unreliable and are probably also invalid measures of mobility performance. The value of the largely subjective methods currently used in assessment is questioned, as is the lack of explicit awareness of an effective assessment methodology.

Some thoughts on mobility training: past, present and future by Pauline James.The British Journal of Visual Impairment, Autumn 1986, Vol., No. 3. The author is the new Principal of the National Mobility Centre. In this article, she gives a brief outline of her own professional training and career, and argues that her experience has shaped her views of the whole process of rehabilitation and of the kind of training required for professional work with the visually impaired. She writes as a practitioner in the belief that subjective comment, if confirmed by a sufficient number of people, can be a basis for objective research and stimulus.
