For transport to be accessible to people with communication disabilities many different types of adjustment are required. Using multiple modes of communication with attention to understandability and consistent responses from public contact staff skilled to interact in multiple ways, may be the most flexible and effective means of responding to difficulties posed by the complex and unpredictable nature of train services. Implications for Rehabilitation People with communication disabilities are a diverse group which includes people with physical, sensory, speech, language, and cognitive impairments. Public transport services need to provide a range of communication adjustments to enable people with communication disabilities to travel successfully. Transport services must retain and refine accessible alternatives to online information and booking systems for people with cognitive impairments to avoid widening the digital divide. Frequent and unavoidable changes to train services mean that skilled public contact staff, access to information and a culture of help seeking and giving are particularly important in facilitating access for people with communication disabilities.

“…Navigation, the ability to relocate from one place to another, is a critical skill for independent living and employment for people with disabilities (Dymond, 2011; LaGrow, Wiener, & LaDuke, 1990; Sohlberg, Fickas, Lemoncello, & Hung, 2009). To enjoy a high quality of life, people with intellectual disability (ID) may choose to visit the grocery store, meet with friends, use public transportation, or access community services.…”

The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of three different navigation aids with students with intellectual disability. Participants included six college-aged students with intellectual disability who attended a postsecondary education program. An adapted alternating treatment design was used to compare a paper map, Google Maps on a mobile device, and an augmented reality navigation application. The results indicated that the augmented reality navigation application was functionally the most effective condition. Conclusions are discussed in the context of supporting people with intellectual disability by teaching navigation skills.

“…Being able to successfully and independently move about the community is an important transition skill, as mobility is a requirement for many types of employment, postsecondary education, and independent living. Many students with disabilities rely on family members or care providers for transportation, which can limit their access to the community and create navigational challenges (Sohlberg, Fickas, Lemoncello, & Hung, 2009). Yet, recent advances in technology have demonstrated promising results for supporting the transportation needs of individuals with disabilities (Fickas, Sohlberg, & Hung, 2008; García de Marina, Carro, & Haya, 2012; Mechling & O’Brien, 2010).…”
