Why take the ARMT? Everyone is different. How individuals react to changes are different. This questionnaire is designed to measure your emotional and attitudinal readiness to cope with present and future mobility change that comes with advancing age. The feedback you will receive may assist you and your family to understand how you are feeling and offer some suggestions to assist you in your transportation planning. Directions: Consider what would happen if you could not get yourself to valued destinations and activities independently. Maybe this is occurring already in your life; maybe it could happen in the future. Read each statement and consider if you agree or disagree and how strongly.
