Restoring confidence in mobility

The hierarchy of mobility skills begins with bed mobility then goes to mat transfer, wheelchair transfer, bed transfer, functional ambulation for ADL, toilet and tub transfer, car transfer, functional ambulation for community mobility, and finally community mobility and driving.  This is very close to what I expected the "stages" of mobility skills to be like because each one builds on the other. I have seen this used when working with clients and I agree that it is the correct way to work with individuals on mobility.
From class and labs, I have learned that you start working with clients on tasks that are not as complex and then grade the individual up or down based on their performance.  This is why the hierarchy of mobility skills is in the correct order in my eyes because each one builds up to being able to perform the next.
