Driving Evaluations
Upon the referral of a physician, the Occupational Therapy Department is able to provide a thorough evaluation of an individual’s physical and cognitive abilities, required to drive an automobile.

The driving evaluation consists of:
- Evaluation of Physical Range of Motion and Strength.

- Assessment of Road Knowledge
- On-The-Road Assessment When Indicated
