Occupational Therapy Driving Assessments

An Occupational Therapy Driving Assessment is conducted by a qualified occupational therapist to determine a person’s ability to drive safely. A referral is required by your GP and/or treating specialist.

The driving assessment is conducted in 2 parts:

1. Off road driving assessment (1-2 hours) including an interview regarding your medical and driving history, followed by an assessment of your vision, physical and cognitive skills

2. On road driving assessment (1 hour) with a qualified driving instructor

Feedback:

The Occupational Therapy Driving Assessor will send a report with recommendations to your treating and/or referring doctor, who will make the final decision related to driving

Possible Outcomes:

1. Pass with instructed license

2. Pass with restrictions (i.e. local area; automatic)

3. Pass with modifications (i.e. hand controls; side mirrors)

4. Unsuccessful – driving alternatives may be investigated.

5. Driver remediation, lessons to improve driving skills and re-assess after further recovery.

Cost:

Most driving assessments are privately funded. Please contact us for a quote or to discuss funding options.
