    - Identify basic traffic safety rules, basic defensive driving and collision avoidance strategies.
    - Recognize how and when to take control of the vehicle, if needed.
    - Identify specific strategies for teaching vehicle maneuverability.
    - Design an on-road course to determine driver competency.
    - Identify the criteria needed to assess and the interventions required to determine the number of sessions needed for training, remediation, or driving cessation.
    - Recognize the psychomotor, cognitive, visual and behavioral aspects of driving that result in competent driving skills.
    - Recognize the causes of driving errors and relate them to the clinical assessment.
    - Identify characteristics inherent in select disabled populations that should be considered for teaching and training for driver competency.
    - List ways to effectively communicate observed driver actions into verbal and written format.
    - Recognize medical prescriptions that may influence and impact driving ability.

    ADED Past President

    Jill Sclease is a Recreation Therapist and CDRS working at Driving To Independence in Tempe, Arizona.  She has been a member of ADED since 2010 and is currently ADED's President. In 1995 Jill began working in a neurorehabilitation setting where her career focused on brain and spinal cord injury rehabilitation.   Jill’s enthusiasm for assisting patients has been the focus of her career.  While working in acute rehabilitation, she introduced patients to the possibility of returning to work and community activities through therapeutic community reintegration outings.   Adaptive driving is a key part of this community reintegration. Throughout her career, Jill has served in many leadership roles, including those at the Arizona State Therapeutic Recreation Association, Arizona Spinal Cord Injury Association, and Arizona Adapted Watersports.  Jill has also held leadership roles within ADED, having served as Scholarship Committee Chair and currently as the Education Committee Chair.  She has presented at both NMEDA and ADED conferences, as well as promoting driver rehabilitation at local Universities and organizations. Jill was honored to be recognized as a spinal cord injury specialist by Banner Good Samaritan Rehabilitation Institute in 2006 and to be presented the Outstanding Professional award in 2009 by the Arizona State Therapeutic Recreation Association. In May 2010 Jill joined Driving To Independence to concentrate on independent and safe driving for individuals with disabilities.  She received the credential of a Certified Driver Rehabilitation Specialist (CDRS) in 2011.  Conducting driving assessments and training clients to become independent in the community is her passion.   She often says the process of identifying appropriate equipment for persons with physical differences is like putting a puzzle together and her job is to put the puzzle together without hammering in the corners.

    The Driving Risk Calculator (DRC) is a framework that organizes the process to administer and interpret results from standardized clinical driving skills tests.  The goal of the DRC is to help determine when an individual should or should not be referred for a behind-the-wheel assessment based on clinical skills testing results.  The performance of the DRC has been the subject of previous presentations that are available for viewing on the ADED e-learning platform.  This session will demonstrate how to access and use the fillable test recording forms created for the DRC and are posted on the ADED website.  Continuous improvement of the DRC is sought through the use of updated evidenced based testing.  Updated standardized tests and resources added over the past months will be presented.   

    Learning Objectives:

    • Attendees will experience the Driving Risk Calculator purpose, process, and application to the driver rehabilitation assessment process.
    • Attendees will learn through demonstration how to access and utilize the Driving Risk Calculator fillable forms available to ADED members on the ADED website.
    • Utilization of the DRC as a decision-making tool during clinical testing will be demonstrated through case studies review.

  • The Driving Risk Calculator (DRC) is a framework that organizes the results from 21 standardized clinical tests to help determine when an individual should or should not be referred for an On the Road Driving assessment.

    The Driving Risk Calculator (DRC) is a framework that organizes the results from standardized clinical tests to help determine when an individual should or should not be referred for an On the Road Driving assessment.  It was developed for use by OT clinicians across a health care system.  The developer worked with the ADED Research Committee to survey ADED members for feedback on the DRC framework as a method for clinical reasoning. This recording will present the Driving Risk Calculator framework, background and purpose.  It will demonstrate the tests used in the DRC. It will also discuss how the DRC is used as part of clinical reasoning and the development of client recommendations.  The process used to develop the ADED survey, survey results and research path will be examined. 

    After registering you will be able to view all content. 

    • The Content Tab contains videos to explain the Driving Risk Calculator and all of the resources/references. 
    • There are (3) Driving Risk Calculator Forms found in the Handouts Tab. Please be sure you are using Google Chrome as your browser to open the forms.

  • This course addresses empirically based methods for evaluating the cognitive, visual, visual perceptual, behavioral and executive functions which are required to drive. We will address symptoms and diagnoses that raise special concerns for driving. After a presentation of some of the major resources and test protocols, we will focus on their use in transitioning to behind-the-wheel (BTW) assessment and training with a focus on reviewing clinical deficits effects on performance and appropriate training approaches for clients.

    This 7-hour course addresses empirically based methods for evaluating the cognitive, visual, visual perceptual, behavioral and executive functions which are required to drive. These capacities are often not evident to the outside observer or to the driver. We will address symptoms and diagnoses that raise special concerns for driving. After a presentation of some of the major resources and test protocols, we will focus on their use in transitioning to behind-the-wheel assessment and training with a focus on reviewing clinical deficits effects on performance and appropriate training approaches for clients. The workshop will offer best practices in documentations and communication with the client and other professionals. The workshop will also review strategies for intervention, re-evaluation and address when training may be implemented/recommended or discontinued. 

    Learning Objectives: 

    1. Recognize hidden cognitive, perceptual and behavioral deficits related to neurological pathology that may impact the driving task.
    2. Identify several evidence-based off-road clinical procedures to assess these deficits.
    3. Develop skills to analyze the results of a clinical assessment in relation to potential difficulties that may arise during assessment behind the wheel and, ultimately, in driving.
    4. Develop skills to interpret how clinical deficit may affect driving performance and identify factors that will determine client’s potential for training.
    5. Develop skills for writing an effective plan of care, documenting reportable outcomes to client, family, physicians and state agencies and how best to communicate outcomes to clients, funding agencies and mobility dealers.
    6. Understand BTW training techniques that may address cognitive perceptual difficulties and recognize training approaches that meet the needs of all level clients.
    7. Recognize potential outcomes of training and use of objective re-assessment to ensure progression of skill development while identifying when clients may be discharged or if training should be terminated.
    8. Develop skills for intervention planning for clients with cognitive perceptual or physical difficulties.
