Training Courses for Assessing Disabled Drivers and Passengers
Specialist Training for Occupational Therapists in Assessing Disabled Drivers
I’m pleased to introduce a series of specialist training courses designed to support occupational therapists and related professionals in assessing disabled drivers who use wheelchairs, as well as the vehicles they depend on.
In today’s evolving mobility landscape, accurate, person-centred assessments are essential. These courses provide the knowledge, confidence, and practical skills needed to ensure assessments are safe, effective, and fully aligned with current standards.
Who is this training for?
These programmes are tailored for occupational therapists, vehicle assessors, mobility specialists, and anyone working with wheelchair users who drive or travel as passengers.
What you’ll learn:
– Understanding the diverse needs of disabled drivers and passengers
– Assessment techniques for physical and cognitive abilities related to safe driving
– Evaluation of wheelchair-accessible vehicles for safety, comfort, and usability
– Hands-on workshops with real assessment scenarios
– Best practices in documentation and professional reporting
– Insights into emerging technologies and innovations in accessible vehicles
Why choose this training?
With extensive experience in mobility, driving, and vehicle adaptation, I deliver a practical blend of theory and hands-on learning. Participants will leave equipped with the expertise to carry out informed, ethical, and effective assessments.
Completing this course not only enhances professional competence but also supports disabled drivers in achieving greater independence and safety. Every participant will receive a certificate of completion, recognising their specialist skills and contributing towards CPD hours.
