Driving is not only an instrumental activity of daily living, but a cornerstone for independence in our society. After an illness, injury, or age-related changes, driving and transportation can be compromised. During this presentation, participants will gain a greater understanding of how an individual’s independence and sense of autonomy are strongly influenced by access to transportation options. Through the use of lectures, power points, and videos, common medical conditions and the implications for driving will be reviewed, as will the role of driver rehabilitation specialist and driver rehabilitation programs. Participants will understand the key components of a driver rehabilitation program, including clinical and on-road assessments, driver education and training, adaptive equipment and vehicle recommendations, and driving cessation counseling. Although many types of programs are available, it is critical that consumers are provided with the right services at the right time. This is important for all healthcare practitioners; therefore this information and related resources will be provided.  Finally, it will be stressed that the collaboration between the driver rehabilitation specialist and entire healthcare team is necessary to find transportation options that are safe, practical, and cost effective for the consumer.
