Evidence-Based Driver Assessment Program

Geared toward adults who have undergone a change in health status, this program consists of two sessions with a certified occupational therapist.  The first session is a clinical evaluation.  If qualified, an on-road driving test with a certified driving instructor follows.

• If you, a loved one or a clinician is concerned about your safety while driving, you will need to request a referral (required) from your Primary Care Physician or Specialist for this program.
• Cost is $350 for the clinical assessment and is payable by the patient at the time of scheduling.
• Upon completion of the clinical evaluation, you will be scheduled for an on-road assessment, if qualified.  There is an additional fee paid directly to an independent certified driver instructor, estimated cost $200.
• The occupational therapist who performed your assessment will accompany you on the driving test.  If you should require additional occupational therapy training, a rate of $100/hr will apply.
• Cost and fees are subject to change.
