DRIVING ASSESSMENTS
NEURO REHAB AT HOME:
Our driving assessments are suitable for drivers who are already in possession of a driver’s license. In a so called “off the road” assessment we evaluate the skills required to conduct a motor vehicle safely in traffic. The presence of sufficient perceptual skills as well as the ability of the patient to make safe judgments physically, cognitively, visually and from a reaction perspective is part of our analysis.
The assessment is followed by a once-off driving lesson conducted by a registered driving school and specifically trained instructors. They test the necessary skills as per our evaluation in context.

MARSHALL OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY
Marshall Occupational Therapy provides home-based therapy for adults and adolescents with neurological and psychiatric conditions in the Southern Suburbs, Atlantic Seaboard and everywhere in between. I have a special interest in dementia and conducting clinical driving assessments.
Driving assessments are designed to comprehensively assess all the skills required for driving such as:
- Cognition
- Insight
- Mobility
- Reaction speed
- Vision
- Visual perception,
As well as to understand the diagnosis and related functional impairments and side-effects of medication, and how that impacts a person’s fitness to drive. This assessment consists of an office-based battery of evaluations and is usually done in conjunction with an on-road driving assessment performed by a certified driving school on a separate day. The assessment takes roughly 2 hours and can be done in the comfort of your home. The results of both the office-based and on-road assessment are then used to make a final recommendation regarding fitness to drive as well as any disclaimers/exceptions.
