  • 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.

Driving To Independence

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, Education Committee Chair and ADED President. 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.
