What if your employer paid for you to enroll in the Part 2: OT Driver Rehabilitation Specialist Training?

Then, you could add a revenue opportunity for them by offering driver rehabilitation services in the clinic and on the road.

And you’d expand your skills, become a specialist, and get out of the clinic and onto the open road.

Not every employer is willing to do this… but I have helped OTs build a case and get some or all of their training covered.

If you’re interested in driver rehabilitation and you want to know how to approach your employer… I’d love to connect and see if I can help.

(Obviously, I can’t guarantee that your employer will agree, but I can give you the best advice I have!)

My goal is to get as many occupational therapists into the specialty practice area of driver rehabilitation as possible.

In my (totally biased) opinion, OT practitioners make the absolute best driver rehabilitation specialists.

Let me know how I can help you take the car out of park and shift into driver rehabilitation!

“Reading about driver rehab isn’t the same as being coached through it.”

Adaptive Mobility’s OT-to-DRS training courses are created by an OT for OTs, with the understanding that driving is one of the most meaningful IADLs we get to address.

Across both Part 1 and Part 2, occupational therapists who have taken the courses consistently share positive feedback.

They feel more confident and fully supported throughout the process, plus they can immediately apply what they’ve learned.

Because these courses are created just for OT practitioners — using our frameworks, language, perspectives, and skills.

It’s what makes this OT-specific pathway and education so powerful.

Don’t take our word for it, though. Tap below to hear from other OT practitioners who have taken courses from Adaptive Mobility Services.

Real clients. Real stories. Real impact.

These OT practitioners may have enrolled for the free CEUs, but they left with so much more.

They now better understand how deeply driving is connected to every other area of life.

I’m curious to hear what you think too!

Many OTs say they’re interested in driver rehabilitation… until they think about marketing and “selling” their services.

Then the brakes go on. 🚘

Clinicians often say they’re “bad at sales” or “don’t want to take people’s money”.

But building a driver rehabilitation business isn’t about convincing people to buy something they don’t need or want. It’s about education, relationships, and making sure the right people know you exist.

You are offering a VALUABLE service to people who desperately want to maintain their independence.

Remembering this helps to reframe “sales” and “marketing” so you can view them through an OT lens.

We put together an article so more OT practitioners can understand this shift and start successful, flexible businesses.

If you’ve ever considered starting a business, especially as an OT Driver Rehabilitation Specialist, it’s worth a read.

All jokes aside, every time images like this show up in the news, I cringe.

Not only because people may have been injured, but also because some of these accidents are preventable.

When it comes to driving safety, OT practitioners are vital.

Driving is an occupation that almost all of our clients do or want to do.

Like so many other ADLs and IADLs they’ve been doing for decades, people overestimate their abilities.

Families tend to either “take the keys” or stick their head in the sand when they start to question someone’s driving ability.

But as OTs, we can look holistically at the person, the occupation, and the environment. We can analyze the task of driving, the client factors, and their performance skills.

Sometimes, we can…
→ Teach adaptive strategies
→ Recommend modifications/adaptive equipment
→ Provide targeted rehabilitation to improve their foundational skills

Other times, the only option is to recommend driving retirement and support them through this transition.

Either way, the decision is based on data, not fear, ageism, or ableism.

Everyone deserves to engage in this meaningful occupation as long as they are safely able to do so.

OT practitioners in every setting can…

📋 Have conversations about driving
📋 Complete Driving Risk Assessments to provide an accurate, unbiased snapshot of skills and risks
📋 Advocate for referrals to driver rehabilitation specialists

And, if you find that you enjoy helping families and clients navigate driving, you can become an OT Driver Rehabilitation Specialist and complete on-road assessments and training.

This is how we make the roads safer for everyone while allowing clients as much independence and freedom as possible.

Here’s how to get started:

Part 1: Driving Risk Assessment for the OT

Part 2: OT Driver Rehabilitation Specialist Training

Our next behind-the-wheel Part 2 workshop is in March. This is your opportunity to become a specialist and help clients avoid making the news for their poor parking jobs.

Sharing this for any of you interested in learning more about Updates on Alzheimer’s disease, treatment and intervention.

Always consult with your physician. This is not medical advice.

But with that being said, there’s lots changing in this area of Practice and I think it’s worth it to stay up-to-date on the information so that you’re informed and able to ask critical questions.

Many of you are trusting Adaptive Mobility to help assess Driving fitness early in Cognitive disease. We greatly appreciate your partnership and trust in us! Here to support you anyway we can.

We know Parkinson’s is progressive.

But, what if adaptive equipment could keep an individual independent and safe longer?

This free CE course includes stories from real clients to help you understand the possibilities and how OTs and OTAs in every practice setting can address driving.

When we start the conversation early and refer to specialists, client’s lives are changed.

❔ Will I have enough patients?
❔ Are people actually willing to pay cash?
❔ Can I really make enough money?

Almost every OT practitioner I talk to about entering this specialty practice area asks these questions before changing lanes into driver rehabilitation.

It makes sense.

Most of us were trained to work within the medical and insurance systems.

Running a business, especially one that relies (at least partially) on cash-based services can feel unfamiliar and intimidating.

But the current population that’s aging and will soon need these services is different. They want options and many of them have the money to pay for things they value… like maintaining their ability to drive independently.

We wrote an article that walks through how OT Driver Rehabilitation Specialist business owners think about referrals, visibility, and caseload development in an ethical, OT-centered way.

Read it here:

Also, a gentle reminder — Driver Rehabilitation is a specialty practice area.

If you want to take clients on the road for driving assessments and treatment sessions, you need additional training, equipment, and liability insurance.

The Part 2: OT Driver Rehabilitation Specialist Training is your OT-specific pathway to enter this specialty area. Our next hands-on workshop is in March. Send me a message if you’d like details or head to the comments for the link!

Adaptive Mobility Services

My Mission: To provide exceptional care for all drivers and education for occupational therapy practitioners

For me, like most others, driving means independence, freedom, and mobility. I greatly respect this and your interest to continue with driving. As an occupational therapist, I understand medical conditions and illnesses, and I am skilled at evaluating and problem-solving solutions to promote independence. As a driver rehabilitation specialist, I understand the skills, knowledge, and activities needed for fitness to drive. By combining both areas of expertise, I support my drivers by identifying patterns of strengths and concerns, problem-solving solutions, and promote engagement in life that matches the abilities of each driver. I believe in partnering with drivers, their physicians, and support systems, to promote the highest, safest, level of travel -whether that be driving, as a passenger, or traveler.
