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.
