Driving and Older Adults - A Roadmap for Safety
Community mobility, specifically driving, is a normal activity of life for the majority of adults. Continued driving for older adults is critical for self-esteem, independence and self-worth.

This course will provide therapists and facility staff with tools and resources to establish a driver safety program, evaluate function as it relates to driving, provide education to residents and families and suggest alternative transportation options. Target audience is OT, COTA, PT, PTA, SLP and facility staff. Ideal for community-based programs, assisted and independent living. |
