Who Needs a Professional Driver’s Evaluation?

There are several common situations where an official assessment becomes necessary. You or a family member may benefit from, or be required to complete, an evaluation if you:

  • Have Legal or DUI Offenses: Individuals navigating license restorations after a DUI or substance-related infraction.
  • Are Fulfilling State Requirements: Drivers needing official clearance for the Michigan Secretary of State or a specific court order.
  • Live with Medical Conditions: Individuals managing cognitive changes from dementia, neurological disorders, or traumatic brain injuries.
  • Are an Older Adult: Seniors who want to proactively ensure their driving skills and reaction times remain sharp.
  • Experience Mental Health Challenges: Anyone facing difficulties with focus, anxiety, or decision-making that could impair road safety.

What is Included in the Assessment Process?

Our clinical team conducts comprehensive and supportive evaluations tailored to meet strict administrative standards. Your appointment will typically include:

  1. History Review: A detailed look at your medical, psychological, and driving history.
  2. Cognitive Testing: Objective behavioral screenings to evaluate focus, reaction time, and decision-making under stress.
  3. Substance Screening: If required for legal cases, a detailed review to satisfy substance use criteria.
  4. Official Documentation: A clear, personalized report outlining fitness to drive, which can be provided to legal counsel or state departments.
