What is a Driver Rehabilitation Specialist
Driver rehabilitation is a specialized field that focuses on helping individuals with medical conditions or disabilities assess and improve their driving function. As a Certified Driver Rehabilitation Specialist (CDRS) and an occupational therapist, I possess advanced training through industry certification and a significant medical background essential for assisting clients in assessing their driving capabilities following a health or medical change, or due to a progressive or developmental medical conditions. Through an evidence based comprehensive evaluation we can truly understand any potential barriers to driving and work to remediate challenges while promoting driver fitness.
What is Driver Rehabilitation and Assessment?
- A driver rehabilitation assessment is a medical assessment conducted by an occupational therapist driving rehabilitation specialist.
- Analysis and assessment of medical conditions, medical history, medications, and current level of community independence.
- Formal assessment of visual skills, cognitive/thinking skills, and physical skills are completed. This will include how eyes visually search, and visually process the driving environment. Assessment of attention, memory, problem solving skills, movement, strength, sensation and reaction time.
- It is the pattern of the overall performance that determines fitness. When appropriate a behind the wheel assessment of driving performance will be provided to determine medical fitness to drive.
