The Driving Solutions Advantage

Our Driver Safety Consultants are uniquely qualified Occupational Therapists that provide medical and functional performance assessment to provide a meaningful evaluation.

What we offer:

  • Clinical Assessment of the physical, visual, perceptual and cognitive skills that underlie safe driving. There is no actual driving during a clinical assessment.
  • A formal, written report of the results of the clinical evaluation is provided to the driver and their referring physician including specific recommendations based on evaluation results.
  • Road Test Evaluation of the performance skills that are critical for safe driving. Typically the evaluator will assess lane placement, observation skills, reaction time, traffic awareness, scanning and more. Separate arrangements are made for on-road evaluation based on recommendations developed during the clinical assessment. There are many considerations for on road evaluation that deserve careful discussion about proceeding. Road test evaluations always occur on a different day. We use either a professional driving school or the RMV for your driving performance evaluation
  • Expert Consultation to assisted living centers and health services agencies about policy development regarding clients and driving.
  • Referrals to agencies and resources that provide driving-related services such as adaptive equipment, specialized driving lessons, and options for adaptations.
