BAPTIST HEALTH Rehabilitation Institute employs a certified Driver Rehabilitation Instructor who provides driving training in a BAPTIST HEALTH sponsored car or van. Both of these vehicles are equipped with adaptive devices for individuals who have limited mobility and movement. These include hand controls for accelerator and brake, various steering adaptions, and a 6-way power seat for positioning adjustments and the option of a left foot gas pedal.

Driver Rehabilitation is structured to the individual needs of each client and may consist of one assessment and training session or a series of visits when more extensive training is required. When indicated, BHRI also has an assessment device to determine an individual's readiness for driver training.

Driver Rehabilitation requires a physician's referral, is covered by Medicare and is covered by most insurances under Occupational Therapy. The program is offered Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
