• Adaptive Driver Evaluation ▿

   

  Adaptive driver evaluations are completed at our Frederick, Maryland office  with a primary goal to evaluate an individuals disability and the implication for driving.  An adaptive driver evaluation will begin with clinical testing to obtain an occupational profile and identify vehicle modification needs.  The evaluation will determine adaptive driving potential and establish a plan of care after a comprehensive evaluation has been completed.  A plan of care will address  a number of areas including state licensing requirements, adaptive driver training requirements, vehicle consultation services, vendor selection, vehicle prescription, final fitting inspection, and license restrictions.  Adaptive driver evaluations are individualized with an attempt to regain independence using state of the art adaptive technology.

• Drivers Education for individuals with Disabilities ▿

We are licensed and certified to teach the Maryland standardized curriculum for novice drivers with special needs.  Rehabilitation of Frederick works with commercial driving schools across the state to provide adaptive BTW drivers education for all disabilities including adaptive car, adaptive van, and adaptive truck needs. A restricted Learners Permit is required to provide services as part of the graduated license system requirement for the state of Maryland.

• Vehicle Modification Fitting & Training ▿

   

  Rehabilitation of Frederick works with each consumer and their chosen mobility vendor to provide appropriate fitting and functional inspections following adaptive training.  A final fitting inspection is required as part of a comprehensive adaptive driving plan of care.  The final fitting is to ensure that all industry standards have been met and the vehicle prescription has been followed to meet the individuals adaptive driving needs.  Follow up training is often required for high tech driving systems prior to final delivery to make sure any necessary adjustments are made prior to independent driving.

• Driver Safety Evaluations ▿

   

  Driver safety evaluations are completed at Rehabilitation of Frederick to evaluate a consumers ability to continue or resume driving.  This is an ever popular evaluation consisting of clinical and behind the wheel testing to determine if community mobility is an achievable goal.  Driver safety evaluations are provided for individuals who are experiencing mild cognitive impairment, recovery of stroke/TIA, recent hospitalization, or a number of disabilities including vision, visual perceptual, neuromuscular, and cognitive disabilities. The Driver Safety Evaluation program is a very popular program to identify if a consumer can continue to drive or resume driving following a hospitalization or rehabilitation stay.
