travel training

Travel training or travel instruction refers to educational programs designed to instruct students with intellectual and developmental disabilities in urban wayfinding for the use of public transit. Travel training is generally described as "a program that provides instruction in travel skills to individuals with any disability except visual impairment." Beginning in the late 1950s as a part of the AHRC, the first travel training program was later formalized with the New York City Department of Education in the 1970s.
This approach, like the AHRC New York City from which it originated, is often associated with the Family Movement. Travel training offers transitional skills between that of activities of daily living for home and vocational education for work. Focusing on community integration, it has since spread through various independent programs internationally, serving a wide range of age groups.
