Building Relationships
Between Mobility Managers & Centers for Independent Living
This information brief contains a compilation
of the strategies and activities used by representatives from Centers for
Independent Living (IL coaches) in the Mobility
Management Independent Living Coaches (MMILC) Program. The program’s
purpose was to inform mobility managers and other transportation
professionals about disability issues, and engage human services professionals
in mobility management. CILs and human services organizations can use these
strategies and activities to support their linkages with mobility managers and other
transportation providers. In turn, mobility managers may also use information
from the MMILC program detailed in this resource to reach out to CILs. Download

A
Cost-Benefit Model for Travel Training
In 2010, Karen Wolf-Branigin, M.S.W., ESPA
staff member, and Michael Wolf-Branigin, Ph.D., George Mason University
Department of Social Work associate professor, collaborated with additional
experts in the field to develop a model budget with line items and a formula to
ascertain distinct costs and benefits of travel training services to trainees,
the community and funders. The same year, they presented their model at the
TRANSED conference in Hong Kong, China and at the Association of Travel
Instruction Annual Conference in Baltimore,
Md. This new resource is a
synopsis of the cost-benefit model for travel training presented at these
conferences. Download
