Community Accessible Rehabilitation (CAR) - Pre-Driving Assessment

Pre-driving assessments for clients who have a physical, cognitive or perceptual disability as a result of a neurological injury (i.e., stroke, brain injury).

The clinic offers assessment of psychomotor skills, visual perceptual ability, cognition, general awareness, and reaction speed to clients who have a disability as a result of a neurological injury. Based on the results of the assessment, recommendations regarding return to driving are made to Â鶹ӳ»­ Driver Fitness and Monitoring Branch. They will review the recommendations and make the final decision on the client's fitness to drive.
