"Clients include individuals who are free of medical conditions that would make them unsafe to drive (i.e. seizure free for six months or longer, not taking medications that make you drowsy, etc.).
They should be able to transfer into our specially adapted vehicle and sit behind the wheel of the car with minimal to moderate assistance to participate. Clients with a driver’s license must have a clear license to participate in the in-car portion of the assessment or any recommended training (i.e. not under suspension or revocation). Any suspensions/revocations must be cleared prior to getting in the vehicle. Individuals without a driver’s license can participate in training with a learner’s permit. Finally clients can include someone with:

• Physical disability
• Cognitive disability
• Mental disability
• Older adults who may be at risk for being involved in or causing a crash
• People with low vision

Clients must have medical clearance and a Louisiana physician’s prescription to participate in the program. "
