Desirée Gallimores well-structured lockstep bible on travel-training will go a long way to alleviating the valid concerns and fears that plague families and carers when considering independent travel for people with a disability. She skilfully debunks many of the myths associated with independent travel whilst stressing the fact that it is a life changing/door opening event for people of all ages. This is an important and highly recommended book for all concerned with maximising the independence of every person with a disability. - Eileen Lyons, Department of Education, Transition to Post School for Students with Disabilities, Northern Sydney In this excellent volume Dr. Desirée Gallimore gives the reader the understanding and confidence to teach students safe and independent travel.
