Duration: 1 hour

Presenter: Caroline Rule (View profile)
Overview
This course covers the physical aspects to be assessed in clients who need to use either an adapted vehicle or an adapted driving style due to impaired physical function. It provides practical guidance on assessments that can be done in the office or in a stationary vehicle, with the focus on the primary driving controls.
The course includes:
- The legislative frameworks available in South Africa related to the legal requirements for positioning in the vehicle, steering and braking.
- Physical disability needs analysis to determine appropriate adaptations.
- A detailed description of methods that can be used to assess steering, braking and acceleration.
- A guide to doing an in-vehicle assessment.
The course does not cover details of vehicle adaptations. This will be covered in a separate practical course.
