The loss of the ability to drive is often a major obstacle to returning to independent living, enjoying social activities, running errands or returning to employment following an illness or disability.
The Clinical Driving Evaluation and Rehabilitation Program at REHAB at Nu’uanu is available to evaluate a person's current driving ability, assess driving potential and often enable the person to return to safe, independent driving. Driver rehabilitation may be beneficial whenever a medical condition causes limited function. Our primary goal is to enable clients to attain low-risk, independent mobility in the community.
Services are provided by physical and occupational therapists who are trained as driver rehabilitation specialists. These therapists are trained in the evaluation and treatment of visual, physical, sensory and cognitive/perceptual dysfunctions that impair driving. We offer a Driving Evaluation program, a Driving Rehabilitation program and assistance with Vehicle Modification
