Can Clinicians, Researchers, and Driver Licensing Officials Build a Shared Vocabulary?

ABSTRACT

Communication through a shared understanding is essential with multidisciplinary groups. The objective of this paper is to discuss and illustrate how licensing authorities, researchers, practitioners (clinicians), and consumers do not share the same understanding of key terminology related to safe and competent driving. Ongoing and planned work that aims to develop a resource to promote shared understanding of terms relating to driver testing, evaluation, and rehabilitation is then highlighted.
