Comprehensive Driving Evaluations

We start by talking with you and reviewing your doctor’s notes to understand your health, driving history, and your current needs and goals. During this time, we’ll explain the steps and pricing of the evaluation, go over any private-pay costs for training if needed, and provide a Good Faith Estimate—so you’ll know exactly what to expect before your driving evaluation begins.

As part of the evaluation, we’ll assess your vision, sensation in your hands and feet, movement, and thinking and concentration skills—all key factors for safe driving. These tests help us determine if you’re ready and able to be behind the wheel.
Following this, we will drive with you in the Limitless Driving Solutions rehabilitation vehicle to conduct a behind-the-wheel evaluation. This gives you the chance to drive through your community and demonstrate your driving skills.

After completing both the clinical and on-road parts of your evaluation, we’ll review the results with you. We ask that you have a family member or friend present during the outcomes discussion. We’ll explain how your current skills relate to safe driving and discuss next steps. The results will be shared with your doctor for final review and will indicate one of the following outcomes:

• Fit to drive

• Needs additional training or rehabilitation

• Temporary hold — reassessment recommended after recovery or progress

• Driving retirement — safety concerns prevent continued driving

​​

You’ll also receive personalized recommendations and resources to support your safety, independence, and confidence on the road—or guidance for transitioning to alternative transportation if driving retirement is the safest option.

If your evaluation shows that training or adaptive equipment could improve your driving, we’ll create a personalized plan to help you reach your goals. Our occupational therapy driving specialist focuses on improving driving skills, safety, and confidence. We can recommend and train you to use low-tech adaptive equipment such as steering aids, hand controls, left-foot accelerators, adaptive mirrors, or transfer aids—helping you drive safely and independently again.
