In the theory of prof J.W. Atkinson the
following formula of motivation:
   
M = 
P(UI+) x W
     
K
M= motivation,   P(UI+) = Perception of a favourable outcome
W= value for the person,   K = costa or barriers
 
Your role as a facilitator is to maximize
motivation and trying in cooperation with
the participants to maximize perception
and value and minimize barriers.

Exercise / Experience with blindfolds
 
Tips and Tricks
Always ask them how they would like to
be guided – don’t assume you know.
Don’t hold the person’s arm. Let them
hold your arm at the elbow, with your
arm by your side.
While you’re walking, keep talking to the
person, telling them where you’re going
and what to be aware of (for example,
when you’re going up and down steps).
 
Visual impairment or sight loss
undefined
 
Tips and Tricks (2)
Always look back when you’re going through
doorways to make sure the person is in the
right position and is not going to hurt
themselves.
If the person wants to sit down, allow them to
manoeuvre into the chair independently,
offering further verbal guidance if it looks as if
they may miss the chair. Don’t push or pull
people into the chair as this can be very
distressing.
Always let a person know when you are leaving
them, and never leave them in the middle of a
room.
