The Driving Risk Calculator (DRC) is a framework that organizes the process of administering and interpreting 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 posted on the ADED eLearning portal for ADED Members.  Continuous improvement of the DRC is sought through the use of updated evidence-based testing.  Updated standardized tests and resources added over the past months will be presented.   

Learning Objectives:

  • Attendees will experience the Driving Risk Calculator's 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.

Ann Forrest Clark has committed the past 40 years of her life to helping people achieve the skills for independent living through occupational therapy.  18 years ago, she added licensed driving instructor to her tool box and has since worked in the clinic and behind the wheel to help individuals achieve the goal of driving or identify when it is time to seek alternative forms of transportation.  In an effort to support other professionals in making those difficult clinical decisions she has developed the Driving Risk Calculator which will be shared at the conference in her presentation.

Ann has served on the ADED certification committee and as the committee co-chair.   Ann is grateful for the friendship of her fellow committee members and feels she has learned far more from the experience than she has contributed.  She encourages all CDRS’s to consider serving if they feel called to the committee.
