DRIVER RETRAINING PROGRAM, CHI IMMANUEL
Description
CANDIDATES FOR THE PROGRAMS INCLUDE PHYSICALLY CHALLENGED INDIVIDUALS LEARNING TO USE ADAPTIVE EQUIPMENT, INDIVIDUALS WITH LEARNING DISABILITIES WHO WOULD BENEFIT FROM A STRUCTURED ONE-ON-ONE PROGRAM AND ELDERLY PEOPLE INTERESTED IN REFRESHING THEIR DRIVING SKILLS. RECOMMENDATIONS ARE MADE FOR VEHICLE SELECTION, MODIFICATION AND ADAPTIVE EQUIPMENT NEEDS. FOR THE PHYSICALLY CHALLENGED: THIS PROGRAM EXISTS TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THOSE PHYSICALLY DISABLED FROM STROKES, HEAD INJURIES, SPINAL CORD INJURIES, CEREBRAL PALSY OR OTHER NEUROLOGICAL CONDITIONS. FOR ELDERLY DRIVERS: LIMITATIONS NEED TO BE RECOGNIZED SO THAT ELDERLY DRIVERS CAN COMPENSATE ACCORDINGLY. FOR SCHOOL AGED PHYSICALLY DISABLED: THIS PROGRAM IS FOR STUDENTS WHO HAVE NEVER HAD A DRIVER'S LICENSE AND ARE LEARNING TO DRIVE FOR THE FIRST TIME. THE AVAILABILITY OF HAND CONTROLS AND ONE-ON-ONE CLASSROOM INSTRUCTION ARE ASPECTS OF THIS PROGRAM THAT SCHOOL-BASED PROGRAMS CANNOT PROVIDE. REQUIRES DR. ORDER
