I have done behind the wheel evaluations for clients with questionable driving skills, Learning Differences, Emotional Disabilities and Physical Disabilities since the beginning of time. Okay, it has only been about one half of a century.
I have seen clients for whom I have recommended that they:
1) drive no more
2) need further evaluation
3) should have some training before driving more
4) are showing me they can go ahead and drive.
Some drivers -- experienced or not -- need Adaptive Driving Aids (ADAs) (some of which I have) in order to continue driving.
For those who need a Driver Evaluation, Driver Training or Driver Rehabilitation, I make myself available 24/7 with door-to-door service.
Driver Evaluations have been done at the request of the client’s parent, the client’s child, the client’s physician, an Occupational Therapist at a rehabilitation hospital, New York State VESID, New York State ACCES-VR, the client themselves, and others.
I am a Certified Driver Rehabilitation Specialist with over 45 years experience. I teach driving full time. I have the desired credentials. Please see my CV at www.drivingAcar.com (Link # 10) or feel free to call me and ask.
