As we get older, it's important to be aware of and prepare for how aging impacts a central part of many of our lives: driving. Occupational Therapist and Driver Rehabilitation Specialist, Staci Frazier will discuss characteristics of the aging process and age related changes that can affect driving as well as ways to increase older driver safety. The presentation will review the reasons someone is referred to a driver rehabilitation program, how to prepare to discuss concerns related to a loved one’s driving, as well as resources to keep driving longer and for after you retire from driving.
