A few things we’re great at
Fitness to Drive Assessments
Because driving is a complex task, many medical problems or conditions can affect a person’s ability to drive safely.
Occupational therapists, like doctors or optometrists are independent specialists working in the field of health care. The OT is specifically trained in assessing and understanding the physical or cognitive impact of a wide range of medical conditions on driving. If medical conditions are present, an Occupational Therapy driving Assessment is preferable to an assessment solely with a driving instructor.
An Occupational Therapy (OT) driving assessment evaluates a person’s ability to drive safely and independently, considering physical, cognitive, and perceptual skills, and includes both off-road (clinical) and on-road (practical) assessments.
Driving Rehabilitation to the Workplace and Corporate Sector
Organisations should be aware that driving is potentially the largest identifiable risk to your workers. Statistics also reveal that the greatest cause of workplace deaths in Australia is vehicles.
Occupational Therapy driver rehabilitation in the workplace aims to assist the worker with a functional impairment to commence or return to safe and independent driving through the identification of strengths and limitations, program planning for compensatory and remediation strategies.
We also work with employees who are struggling with the physical demands of operating their vehicle, and can assist with ergonomic modification, adaptive driving equipment or engineering a cockpit re-design where appropriate.
Commercial Vehicle and Motorcycle Assessments
After injury or illness, you need to be sure you are able to drive safely before you return to everyday driving.
Should you wish to regain any additional license classes (HR, MC, R, etc.) you will be required to sit an on-road occupational therapy driving assessment in the highest class licence that you wish to hold. This can only be completed once you have been assessed in a standard Class C (Car) vehicle.
Evolution Occupation Therapy shares relationships with high standard truck and heavy vehicle training centres in QLD, to allow completion of motorcycle, truck, forklift and fleet vehicle driving assessments
