Pilot Testing and Validation of an Educational Game on Transportation Challenges for Mobility Device Users.

ABSTRACT: Despite the increasing use of assistive mobility devices, practical education to navigate real-world ground transportation barriers is lacking. The educational board game, called HERL-Town, was developed to teach safe and effective navigation for mobility device users (MDUs) in the community.
