If you have special needs, a driver rehabilitation program may be a necessary intervention when learning to drive a vehicle. Drivers are often referred to a driver rehabilitation program by physicians, eye doctors, occupational therapists, driving schools, parents, high schools and state-sponsored vocational programs. Referrals are usually made due to a significant break in the driving routine; a need of further evaluation due to injury or illness; or a need for additional training before acquiring a license.
When a medical condition limits visual, physical, sensory, and/or cognitive function as it relates to the task of driving, having the instruction of a Certified Driver Rehabilitation Specialist (CDRS) provides the optimal outcomes to create a successful, independent driver.
