Community Mobility and Driving Assessment
About
Driving for most of us plays such a big role in our lives. It is how we stay in touch with family and friends. It is how we do things we want to at our convenience. Staying connected to our community is such an important part of our wellbeing. Sometimes changes that are physical, mental and/or sensory can affect our ability to drive safely and our community mobility.
Have you been concerned that you may not be driving as well as you used to? Have family members or friends expressed a concern about your driving ability? A registered occupational therapist and a certified occupational therapy assistant will guide you through the assessments so you can stay connected to the community.
