Driving To Independence (DTI) specializes in assessing and training drivers with disabilities or diagnoses affecting driving safety. Our Certified Driver Rehabilitation Specialists will assess your needs, provide essential driving equipment and instruction, and make suggestions to help you become a confident, safe driver. We offer vehicles with or without adaptive equipment for a better, more accurate evaluation. Our team ensures you have the right license and that your equipment can be used correctly. We might also conduct a Senior Safety Assessment evaluation if you are worried about the effects of aging on your driving skills.
Since 2001, we have been united by a common goal to promote community independence. Our assessments are individualized to match each customer’s unique circumstances or requirements.
After your assessment, the reviewing professional will issue a recommendation. This information will help you make informed decisions about your next steps in self-sufficiency and driving security. The DMV reviews our assessment vehicles each year and guarantees that the cars contain the latest adaptive driving equipment for training. These components may be taken out by those who are not using any adaptive equipment during their appointment.
We ensure that our professional staff is trained in the latest research in this field. This involves participating in conferences and continuing education classes through our national organization, as well as other local opportunities.
