A Driver Evaluation is the preparatory phase for all other services within the field of driver rehabilitation. A Driver Evaluation includes a clinical assessment, as well as an on-road assessment. The clinical portion addresses medical and driving history, visual acuity and perception, cognitive skills, physical skills, as well as goals for driving. The on-road assessment is performed in an actual driving environment to assess one's abilities or potential to become an independent driver.

Unfortunately, it is not common for insurance to cover a driving evaluation as they do not consider driving as "medically necessary."

The on-road assessments will be performed in a company evaluation vehicle. We have a few vehicle options depending on your physical needs, each has an automatic transmission and is equipped with dual brakes as required by the Motor Vehicle Department. Additional adaptive driving equipment will be utilized if required. Our vehicles are insured for driver training purposes.

Recommendations will be discussed regarding your driving based on the comprehensive evaluation. A written report will be provided within the following week and sent to your doctor, the Motor Vehicle Department and/or anyone else you provide written consent for us to send it to.
