What is an OT driving assessment?
For individuals with disabilities or seniors, maintaining the ability to drive can significantly impact their independence. Occupational Therapy driving assessments are comprehensive evaluations conducted by OTs to determine an individual's fitness to drive safely. These assessments consider physical, cognitive, and perceptual factors that may affect driving performance.
Families and disability coordinators can explore Occupational Therapy driving assessments to ensure the safety of their loved ones on the road. These assessments may lead to recommendations for adaptive driving equipment, specialized training, or guidance on alternative transportation options, contributing to a safer and more inclusive community.
