Driver Rehabilitation Services, PA
About
The ability to drive plays an important part in a person’s overall independence. The skill of operating a motor vehicle safely is a door to independence. Our company, owned and run by an occupational therapist, primarily serves clients with disabilities in achieving their driving goals. However, we recognizie that COVID has created a need for new drivers to achieve their behind the wheel instruction (state required 6 hours) and we are fully credentialed and able to meet this need. We are back in business with our therapist/instructors using a face shield and clients using a face mask. Our calm approach and vigileance in learning life long good driving habits will serve your needs. We look forward to assisting you with your driving goals.

It is gratifying to see a drive advance in skill knowing that lifelong habits are developing that will lead to safe roadway use.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Our first hour is focused on getting new drivers comfortable with the operational skills of driving. That means learning how to smoothly apply the accelerator and brake, control the wheel, and communicate through signal use. Our training progresses to tactical skill development; knowing how to judge gaps, make lane changes, use good visual scanning, monitor following distance and maintain lane positioning. We address the skills required for passing the DMV road test for licensure including a 3-point turn, straight line backing, and parking skills. Strategic skill development is also included. That means allowing the student to route plan, use gps systems when appropriate, and rehearse their familiar routes.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Our state certified driving instructors have met and exceeded all the requirements to teach driver's education. We are state licensed as driving instructors and also licensed as occupational therapists. We have continuing education and training on the state and national level.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
