Target Audience: Medically Based Speech-language pathologists
Course Description:
The role of the speech pathologist in helping neurologically impaired patients return to driving readiness is unclear and underestimated. Typically, other members of the rehab team address physical, cognitive and visual issues associated with return to driving skills. Speech pathologists routinely address cognitive and visual issues without automatically making the connection our therapeutic approaches contribute to a person's return to driving journey. This course is designed to reinforce the role of the speech pathologist in patients returning to driving.
Objectives:
- Identify the losses across the ages that are experienced when driving privileges are removed.
- Name a minimum of 5 physical and 5 cognitive areas that impact a person’s ability to drive.
- List a minimum of 5 therapeutic pre-driving strategies and how they relate to return to driving.
- Identify adaptive strategies & resources to help compensate for identified impairments.
