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. Following this assessment, a report is forwarded to the referring doctor to enable him/her to make an informed decision about the patient’s skills and abilities to drive safely.

The driving evaluation consists of:

  • Evaluation of Physical Range of Motion and Strength.
  • Vision
  • Cognition
  • Reaction Time
  • Assessment of Road Knowledge
  • On-The-Road Assessment When Indicated
