The Functional Driving Assessment consists of an initial in-clinic assessment completed by an Occupational Therapist/ CDRS, followed by an in-vehicle assessment completed by the Licensed Driving Instructor (DI) and OT/CDRS.

The goal of the Functional Driving Assessment is to determine if a person’s medical condition/injury is affecting their ability to safely operate a vehicle from a physical and cognitive perspective. The clinical assessment consists of a medical history review, functional physical screen, cognitive/perceptual assessment, and on-road safety evaluation.

The in-vehicle portion of the assessment is completed in the Licensed Driving Instructor’s automatic dual brake vehicle with an Occupational Therapist and Licensed Driving Instructor. The in-vehicle assessment is completed on diverse roadways assessing a client’s driving skills with respect to physical endurance, cognitive/perceptual skills and medical fitness to drive.

The in-vehicle treatment sessions are designed by the Occupational Therapist/CDRS to compensate/ remediate driving skill deficits from the initial assessment. The sessions are completed with a Licensed Driving Instructor and are followed by a Treatment Progress Re-Assessment after training with the Occupational Therapist/CDRS and Licensed Driving Instructor to determine and document client progress and make a final determination on the client’s driving abilities.

The Drive Safe Program is designed to teach clients proactive and defensive driving strategies. It is completed initially with an Occupational Therapist who meets with the client to determine program goals for the client’s unique driving needs.

The program consists of in-vehicle sessions with a Certified Driving Instructor who will focus on examining the problematic driving behavior and teaching proactive driving strategies.

Following the program, a final session is completed to determine if the client has met individual goals and if so, a certificate of achievement is provided.

The Existing and Proposed Vehicle Environment Assessment examines a client’s physical needs as a driver and/or passenger and is tailored to compensate for a client’s physical deficit with the use of adaptive driving controls or in some cases, a newly modified vehicle. 

The assessment(s) consists of an initial meeting with an Occupational Therapist/CDRS at the client’s home who interviews the client and completes a physical examination to determine individual driving related needs and to provide an assessment of the client’s existing vehicle and to explore options for a proposed vehicle for passenger accessibility.  

A subsequent assessment may be arranged with a meeting at an auto mall/dealership/vehicle modifier with the client to review vehicle options and modifications.

The in-vehicle treatment sessions are recommended to ensure that the individual is proficient with the use of the new adaptive driving controls or modifications in a variety of traffic situations, and is therefore, deemed safe to operate the vehicle with the new driving controls.

In our society, our way of life, we have come to depend on transportation. Access to a vehicle has made living and working easier, but creating and providing an accessible vehicle will restore independence and inclusion to those who require it.
