Abstract | The final report provides a detailed description of the development of the Peabody Mobility Kit for Infants, which provides programmed instruction in orientation and mobility for multiply impaired blind infants. It describes the development of the criterion referenced assessment scales and instructional activities, the empirical validation of the materials via field testing, and the dissemination activities of the 1-year project. Cognitive, motor, and sensory curricular areas were emphasized due to their importance in achieving independent mobility skills. Results of the field testing with 22 infants in both home and center settings found statistically significant gains achieved in the cognitive and movement/touch areas but not in the motor and sound localization areas. Both home and center settings were effective though a greater variability of gain scores was found within the home condition. Appendices, which make up more than two-thirds of the report, contain the biweekly report form, the user questionnaire, the motor consultants' questionnaire, a sample scale scoresheet, a sample training data record form, a list of project consultants, sample assessment items, and sample training items.
