Once all pertinent information is received, we will reach out to the patient to schedule an appointment wherein the evaluation to help determine driving ability is conducted. Driver training is specially tailored to the needs of each student, but the goal remains long-term driving success.
If adaptive equipment is deemed necessary, we offer training with said equipment. Assistance extends beyond the licensure process for individuals requiring adaptive equipment, as we provide post-licensure training with their personal vehicle.
