Cognitive learning theory and cane travel instruction: A new paradigm

By Richard Mettler

Cane travel instruction is critical among rehabilitation services offered to those with vision loss. This book addresses the rationale for an alternative, agency-based, rehabilitation program. Section One presents the case for a cognitive learning approach, addressing normal science and mobility instruction, perceptual awareness, cognitive problem solving, motor skill, intrinsic feedback, and managing the environment among other topics. Section Two presents an instructional outline. Appendices include the case for sleepshade training, and elements of an instructor training program.
