This service provides in-depth evaluation of people with disabilities to determine
their capacity to drive a private car, and, in collaboration with driving instructors,
offers a specialized driver training programme to promote driver safety, independence
and competence. Occupational therapists conduct a comprehensive off-road assessment
of the client's physical, visual, cognitive and perceptual abilities, their
reaction times, functional mobility and knowledge of road rules. This is followed
by an
on-road assessment conducted jointly with a driving instructor in a dual-brake
vehicle. We then issue a report and recommendation on the clientˇ¦s fitness to
drive, along with a prescription of appropriate vehicle modifications and a remedial
programme to improve the client's physical capacity to drive. We accept referrals
from the Transport Department, medical practitioners, health care professionals,
lawyers, and insurance companies.
