The ability to operate a vehicle can be integral to a person’s ability to maintain independence and mobility. UFTI affiliate Dr. Sherrilene Classen hosted the launch of the SmartDrive Driver Rehabilitation Services on July 12, 2018. Dr. Classen is the SmartDrive director as well as professor and chair of the UF Department of Occupational Therapy. SmartDrive is the area’s only driving rehabilitation service offering evaluations and interventions to improve driving skills of older adults and drivers of all ages who have medical conditions that may affect driving, such as neurodegenerative diseases, brain injury and learning disabilities. The goal is to preserve, promote and improve independent, safe and appropriate mobility.
