Travel Training Assessment Processes
![Page 8: Www.projectaction.org Travel Training Considerations Specific to Rural Settings Krystian Boreyko and Kristi McLaughlin Easter Seals Project ACTION.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032722/56649f485503460f94c6a658/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Special Considerations for Rural Settings
• Assessment should determine if student has the
minimum level of ability or skills to participate in travel
training.
• Skills/abilities to be considered in rural settings
include:– Scheduling a trip (phone and communication
skills)– Transferring from provider to provider– Ability to take long transit trips– Navigating to pick up location with less than ideal
path of travel

Special Considerations for Rural Settings
• What trip planning tools could be used to ensure the
following issues are considered prior to travel
training: – Scheduling a trip– Getting to pick up location could be more difficult
and possibly more dangerous– Coordinating more than one provider – Trip times are often long– Things to consider regarding your trip can be very
important

Module 7
Preparing for Unforeseen Incidents
and Emergencies
![Page 23: Www.projectaction.org Travel Training Considerations Specific to Rural Settings Krystian Boreyko and Kristi McLaughlin Easter Seals Project ACTION.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032722/56649f485503460f94c6a658/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Special Considerations for Rural Settings
• Developing an emergency plan could be considered even
more urgent in rural areas because of lack of availability of
alternate routes to destination and/or lack of assistance
available to students while traveling
• No determined differences in developing an emergency plan
for urban or rural settings

Assessment Questions
