Available at On With Life’s outpatient clinics in Ankeny and Coralville, our program includes an initial clinical assessment and comprehensive driving evaluation with a specialist to assess current skills and address deficits. A combination of our expertise in neuro rehabilitation and driver safety then helps us work with individuals on further training with a specially outfitted driver rehabilitation car and adaptive equipment.
Our goal is to work with you to identify the best options for safe, community mobility. See details below!
EVALUATION
The clinic evaluation, depending on need, may take up to two and half hours. During this evaluation, a trained therapist will evaluate:
If an individual successfully passese the clinical evaluation, they will participate in a behind-the-wheel evaluation in On With Life’s outfitted driver rehabilitation car to assess on-the-road safety.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The outcomes of the evaluation will be sent to the referring physician. The physician may contact the DOT if restrictions or driving retirement is recommended at this time. The participant may or may not be re-evaluated in the future. Ongoing therapy may be recommended to address further needs of driving rehabilitation or future re-evaluation.
