Here is another University of Saint Augustine (San Marcos, CA) OTD graduate project as part of her capstone. Good work Brenda Garcia in supporting this OT area of need with transition aged students. Thank you also for reviewing OT-FIRST materials.

This kid not only passed his test but just drove us on highway 35 through downtown at rush hour. Wow! Thank you to Clayton and his mother for permission to share and the sentimental card. It is always a mix of happy/sad to see the kiddos going on their way. Glad to help! I’ll remember y’all ❤️

I LOVE DRIVING!

I honestly do & I can't quite imagine the day when I'll transition from the driver's seat to the passenger seat. Now more than ever, there are lots of resources out there to support SAFE continued driving & community mobility.

As an occupational therapist, I specialize in promoting the highest and safest level of engagement, and as a driving specialist - that means driving!

This week, join me as Adaptive Mobility celebrates Older Driver Safety Awareness Week 2020!

During this week I will share with you a variety of resources to help you and your family stay safe & on the road.

And I will also share with you resources on how an OT-Driver Rehabilitation Specialist can help when needed.

I am excited to share this week with you!

Before we dive in, I have TWO asks of you.
