ABSTRACT

Driving as a means of community mobility is an activity highly valued by individuals. When a medical condition impacts a person's ability to drive, occupational therapy practitioners should address this instrumental task of daily living with the client in order for the client to know if and when return to driving might be possible. This case review illustrates how the task of driving motivated a neurologically impaired client in therapy as well as how driving evaluation and driving rehabilitation intervention should not be done in isolation, but with the communication that will optimally assist the client to return to functional performance.
