Statement of Target Audience
This tool is designed for the NBCOT certificant who provides services – or plans to provide services – to clients who have community mobility needs. Community mobility is defined as “moving self in the community and using public or private transportation, such as driving, walking, bicycling, or accessing and riding in buses, taxi cabs, or other transportation systems” (AJOT, 2008). NBCOT certificants address community mobility needs by assessing individuals, agencies, and services, and constructing interventions that promote safe participation in community mobility activities. Additionally, NBCOT certificants play an important role in advocating for community mobility needs at a systems and policy development level. |
