Driving Evaluation

United Access requires all new hand control clients to be evaluated by a Certied

Driving Rehabilitation Specialist. This ensures that the client is physically and

cognitively capable of operating a motor vehicle, and ensures that the client is

prescribed the appropriate driving devices for his or her unique needs and abilities.

There are two typical parts to a driving evaluation; a clinical assessment and an on

the road assessment. To be eligible for an on the road assessment a client must be 16

years of age or older, have a valid driver’s license or temporary permit, and be one year

seizure free or have a medical physician release.

Dodge Grand Caravan & Chrysler Town

and Country Entervan II

This wheelchair van conversion is easy to operate

and oers a spacious interior, and 52” door opening.

The one touch power entry and exit system includes

a power sliding side door, a power ramp, and a

power auto-kneel system to reduce the ramp

angle and make the van easier to enter and exit for

wheelchair or scooter users.

Dodge Grand Caravan & Chrysler Town

and Country Entervan XT

The Entervan XT is the perfect mobility solution for

individuals who sit higher in their wheelchairs. With

over 56” of clearance through the sliding door - a full

four inches more than the standard Entervan - this

conversion makes it easier for many wheelchair

users to enter and exit the vehicle. Up to 61” of

interior clearance provides extra headroom and

greater visibility.

Toyota Sienna Rampvan XT

The Toyota Sienna oers accessibility and

convenience in a sporty, streamlined package. With

56” of headroom the Sienna makes for comfortable

entry and egress. The one touch power entry and

exit system includes a power sliding side door, a

power folding ramp, and a power auto-kneel system

to reduce the ramp angle and make the van easier to

enter and exit for wheelchair or scooter users.

Toyota Sienna Rampvan Xi

BraunAbility’s in-oor ramp option stows away

neatly under the oor, allowing obstacle-free entry

and egress for ambulatory passengers. The easy

ramp angle and added side rail security makes

accessibility a breeze. Add to that the sleek new and

improved Step-and-Roll seating, and this is another

rst class mobility option on a world-class chassis.

Clinical Driving Evaluation

The clinical driving evaluation is done by a CDRS-

Certied Driving Rehabilitation Specialist or a

Therapist with a background in drivers education.

During this evaluation a CDRS will:

• Review client’s medical charts

• Perform a vision test

• Test client’s cognition, range of motion,

strength, reaction time, etc.

At this point, the CDRS will determine if an on the

road examination or further training is necessary.

On the Road Examination

During an on the road examination the CDRS will

evaluate a client’s abilities while using dierent types

of driving devices, like hand controls. During this

assessment, the CDRS will also determine if further

training on the adaptive equipment is necessary.

United Access has cultivated great relationships with

Certied Driving Rehabilitation Specialists in all of

our markets over the past 20 years. It is important

to us that each potential driver be evaluated for

the safety of the individual, as well as, the safety of

the other drivers on the road. If you are interested

in becoming a driver United Access can put you in

contact with a Driver Evaluator in your local area.

A simulated driving assessment

can occur before an on the road

assessment is performed and may

also be used for further education

and training.
