Driver Rehabilitation services - an outpatient Occupational Therapy service. Though this service is provided in Richland County, it is available to residents from any county.
This comprehensive 2-part driving evaluation assesses a client’s ability to safely operate a vehicle. The first part is the in-clinic evaluation of physical, cognitive and visual abilities related to vehicle operation and typically lasts 1.5 - 2 hours. If it is found appropriate, the client will then continue to the second part - a road assessment which lasts approximately 1 hour. By state law, a Prisma Health rehab vehicle must be used for this section.
The cost of the in-clinic evaluation may be billable to insurance; the road evaluation is an out-of-pocket expense.
Low tech driving adaptations may be recommended.
