Driver Rehabilitation Services
Occupational Therapy
Why pick this one
Driver Rehabilitation Services has operated since 1997 and provides occupational-therapy-led evaluations, adaptive-equipment training, and vehicle fittings.
Best for
- Drivers needing adaptive controls such as a left-foot accelerator, steering orthotics, or pedal extensions
- Wheelchair users needing evaluation and training in a wheelchair-accessible vehicle
- Drivers recovering from brain injury or living with physical, cognitive, visual, or behavioral impairments
- Older adults needing assessment of physical, visual, and mental abilities for safe driving
- Novice drivers with autism, ADHD, learning disabilities, behavioral challenges, spina bifida, cerebral palsy, or visual conditions
- Clients needing vehicle modification prescriptions and training in their usual driving environment
Look elsewhere if
- Clients who need DMV medical forms completed directly; the business states that it cannot complete those forms
