Comprehensive Evaluation

The Handicap Driver Training Comprehensive Evaluation is a specialized program designed to help determine your ability to drive safely and the modifications or adaptive equipment needed to help you achieve your road independence. A 7-page written report with recommendations will be provided to you after your evaluation.

Please note that our Comprehensive Evaluation requires a Doctor’s prescription.

This program consists of two parts:

Part 1: Clinical Evaluation

During your clinical evaluation, we will assess:

  • Your Vision
    We evaluate your acuity, contrast, depth perception, peripheral vision, and visual-spatial skills.
  • Your Cognition
    We evaluate your attention, memory, judgment, and planning skills.
  • Your Range of Motion
    We evaluate your coordination, strength, dexterity, and range of motion.

Part 2: Behind-the-Wheel Evaluation

With the necessary adaptive equipment, you will complete the Behind-the-Wheel evaluation portion in one of our provided evaluation vehicles. During this evaluation, we asses what vehicle modification or adaptive equipment would suit your needs to make driving as safe and comfortable as possible.

  • Good judgment
  • Reaction time
  • Visual scanning
  • Safe vehicle operation

Teen Driving

Seniors Driving

We all experience physical and mental changes as we age. Even though they are gradual and barely noticeable, common changes such as vision, slower reaction time, or pain and stiffness can significantly affect our driving. If there is a sudden change in driving abilities due to age, one is at risk of losing their license. A comprehensive evaluation can determine if our client can continue driving or not based on the clinical assessment and behind-the-wheel evaluation performance of each individual.

If you or someone you may know is facing any challenges, an evaluation can determine which driving skills need improvement.

If you are an adult child of a senior and are concerned about your parent’s driving and public safety, we recommend you bring them to us for a Comprehensive Evaluation and training, if necessary.

At Handicap Driver Training, we pledge to give a professional, honest, and unbiased report of all comprehensive evaluations. We will answer whether a client is safe to drive or not based on the Clinical and Behind-the-Wheel Evaluation performance.
