Overcome senior driver concerns with occupational therapy

We can assist seniors in maintaining the activities they enjoy the most. Aging or changes from medical conditions does not always mean turning in the keys. We can help older drivers stay safe behind the wheel and increase community mobility.

Driving & community mobility videos from partner organizations

This set of videos promotes CarFit, the educational program for adults on driving safety, and explores the ethical and professional obligation to address driving when delivering occupational therapy services. These 11 short videos from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) also demonstrate how key medical conditions common among older drivers may affect driving abilities and benefit from driving rehabilitation.
