After you find out what kind of equipment you need to adapt your vehicle, you must learn to use it to drive in a safe manner. Driver rehab provides training and supervised practice using your newly modified vehicle. Some topics that may be covered in driver rehab include:
- How to use your adaptive driving equipment or perform different driving techniques
- Cognitive strategies to address issues with memory, attention, etc.
- Visual strategies to address perception, sight, etc.
- Anxiety management
- A reintroduction to the driving environment
Often, you will need to participate in driver rehab sessions until you are able to demonstrate proficiency with using your vehicle modifications under typical driving conditions. In some areas of the world, a road test may be required to get your full license.
