Driver Rehabilitation
For over 20 years, St. Lawrence has helped men and women with a wide range of disabilities achieve independence behind the wheel. Our comprehensive program includes:
- A clinical pre-driver evaluation of functional ability, including a simulated brake response, as well as visual, perceptual and cognitive assessments that relate to driving.
- An on-road behind the wheel evaluation, progressing from residential to highway driving, to assess actual driving behaviors.
- Driver training for the use of adaptive equipment such as hand-controls, left foot accelerator, one-handed steering devices (spinner knob) and turn-signal cross-over devices. We also provide assistance with your state motor vehicle road test procedure.
All services are provided by registered occupational therapists who are certified driver rehab specialists. Our driving program and our driving specialists are licensed by the NJ Motor Vehicle Commission (license #20993C), and all on-road services are performed in our specially modified driver training vehicle. We are also an approved NJ Division of Vocational Rehabilitation evaluation and training center.
To enroll in the program you will need:
- A valid driver’s license or permit
- A referral from your physician
- The ability to transfer independently in and out of a sedan driver’s seat
