THE OCCUPATIONAL THERAPIST (OT) DRIVING ASSESSMENT
Before you sit your driving test, you may be advised to have an on-road and off-road Occupational Therapist driver assessment.
Depending on your situation, the assessor may evaluate:
The need for specialised equipment or vehicle modifications
your use of existing vehicle modifications, hand controls or appliances to help you drive
your ability to control the vehicle
your physical skills, reaction time, insight level and ability to self-monitor
your understanding of road rules
After your assessment, the assessor may recommend:
the need for vehicle modifications
rehabilitation or retraining before you sit your driving test
licence conditions or restrictions
alternatives to driving
They’ll provide a driving assessment report with information such as:
an assessment of your particular condition
how a vehicle modification might assist your driving
when you need to be reassessed.
