Fiona Broadley

Fiona Broadley has worked for the last 30 years exclusively teaching mobility and independent living skills to children and young people with vision impairments, many of whom have additional needs. As the Chair of Habilitation VIUK, the professional body for Habilitation Specialists ( Mobility and Orientation Specialists in Education), she assisted in the gathering of research for the Mobility21 Project, which ultimately led to the creation of the National Quality Standards for the delivery of Habilitation Training and the creation of the new profession of Habilitation Specialist. She heads a team of Registered Qualified Habilitation Specialists, all of whom have contributed to the ideas and practice found within this book. She now also lectures to student Habilitation Specialists at Birmingham City University and with her team delivers the Habilitation Elements of the training for Specialist Teachers of the Visually Impaired at the University of Birmingham. She lives in, not so rural, Warwickshire with her family and the school Buddy Dog, Griff. Fiona and her team are active on social media as Practical Sensory.
