The Springfield College Occupational Therapy program is looking for participants for a FREE CarFit event next week, Wednesday June 11th, 2025 from 9am - 12pm at The Cedars Banquet Facility on Island Pond Road in Springfield, MA. CarFit is a program offered through AARP and AOTA where current OT students are trained technicians to assess one’s fit within their car. This is NOT an assessment of one’s abilities to drive, rather we look at how a driver fits within their vehicle and accesses the safety features within their car. This will be a personalized, twenty minute assessment. If interested, please call 413-748-3581 to reserve your spot!
