Driver Rehabilitation
The Driver Rehabilitation Program provides a comprehensive evaluation of an individuals potential to operate a motor vehicle. This process includes a clinical evaluation of visual, cognitive and psychomotor skills and a behind-the-wheel evaluation to determine the types of adaptive equipment and vehicle modifications necessary for driving. After the assessment, recommendations regarding vehicle selection, modifications, driver training and driver licensure are provided. The program also offers professional training programs and consumer information services.
