Instruction for Special Needs

We understand that some students may need more specialized instruction to be a successful, safe driver.  For over 20 years, the experts at MasterDrive have been providing workshops and training for driving rehabilitation specialists all over the US and Canada. We continue to be a leader in developing safe driving strategies for people with diverse abilities.

 What To Expect

The first step begins with an analysis of a potential student’s history, background, and specific functional and cognitive challenges. Reviewing this information helps us to determine whether we need to conduct an assessment. It may be necessary to have a more thorough strategy session where you and the team can ask each other questions. At this stage, we are working to determine if becoming a driver is appropriate.

Once that is established, the next step is for us to develop a step-by-step training process. This is customized and focused on the student’s specific functional and processing challenges. However, it may evolve at each step as the student goes through the training as sometimes new needs are uncovered. At this time, we also determine how we are going to measure the improvements needed for the student to reach the goals of training.

This information is shared with the student, and their family if needed, and they have an opportunity to ask and answer questions with our team.

Getting Behind the Wheel

Finally, the student begins training with our experts according to the timeline and steps we’ve discussed in the strategy session. 

There is a fee for each step from our review, to an assessment or strategy session, to developing and delivering the customized training solution. We separate payment for each step because not all potential students are able to move forward after the initial assessment. However, most do!
