Stress and the Mobility Training Process: A Literature Review

Abstract

Stress is considered to be a major problem in the mobility training process. The effects of stress, potential stress reduction techniques, factors which impact independent mobility, and suggested areas of future research are discussed in this literature review. Practitioners should consider implementing some of these strategies to alleviate the anxiety of their visually impaired students and clients during mobility training. Hopefully, a greater number of professionals will become more involved in conducting formalized research projects in this area.
