Talking about driving with Parkinson’s to others can be tough, but it’s important for your safety and confidence to get continuous feedback. An occupational therapy (OT) assessment and technology can help you determine if you’re fit to drive. Remember, Parkinson’s is something you need to report to your state or territory’s driving authority. Your GP or neurologist can assist you with the necessary forms.
It’s also crucial to be self-aware about when it might be time to stop driving. Even though it may feel like losing some independence, there are various transportation supports available for people with disabilities.
