What happens at my first appointment?
We begin with a clinical evaluation based on your medical history and your driving goals. The evaluation may include a test of your thinking, visual, and/or physical skills for driving. Please be prepared to give a complete medical history, including any current medications.
If indicated, we proceed to an on-road evaluation in a driving rehabilitation vehicle equipped with an instructor’s brake.
At the conclusion, we will provide you with recommendations based on your goals, fitness to drive, adaptive equipment and/or training needs.
