Driver evaluations are appropriate for anyone who has a medical condition that may affect their ability to drive. A driving assessment may be completed if you are unsure of your abilities to drive safely or if your license has been put under suspension by the Ministry of Transportation (MTO).
Skill Builders' evaluators are Registered Occupational Therapists who are also Driver Rehabilitation Specialists registered with ADED driving association. This means your driving assessment is completed in one day, under one roof unlike other facilities that may outsource the on-road portion of their assessments to a third party company. Operating under the approval of the Ministry of Transportation, our team offers the most experience and knowledge locally in this comprehensive field. We offer a range of services including medical fitness to drive evaluations, driver training, vision waiver assessments, vehicle & adaptive equipment prescriptions, and driver anxiety assessments/reintegration.
Evaluations consist of three parts. The first portion of the assessment is completed in-clinic and includes vision screening (to ensure minimum requirements for driving are met), cognitive assessment (reaction time, thinking skills etc) and a physical assessment (movement, strength, feeling etc). The second part is the on-road assessment conducted in one of our Skill Builders vehicles. The third part is the feedback session which is a review of all the testing completed and the Occupational Therapist's interpretation of the results. The assessment takes approximately 2.5 - 3 hours.
