About Us

Driving To Independence Offers A Comprehensive Driver Evaluation And Training Program

This mission for community independence has sustained our passion since 2001. We are able to provide individualized service to each of our clients with assessments focused on specific needs or situations.

Following your assessment, a recommendation will be provided to determine your next steps toward independence and safety when driving.  Our evaluation vehicles are inspected annually by the respective state authorities and have up to date adaptive driving equipment for your training.  For those individuals not requiring adaptive equipment these items can be removed for your specific appointment. 

Our professional staff participate in continuing education through our national professional organization as well as local conferences to ensure we maintain up to date knowledge and techniques for this unique area of driver rehabilitation. 

We look forward to working together in your desire to achieve or maintain your independence while driving safely in your community.

Testimonials

Once the van was adapted, driving lessons began. I was terrified, but Jenny knew when to push me and when to back off. By the end of my second lesson, I was very confident. From that point on, lessons were fun and something I looked forward to. If you have a disability, or know someone who does, I can’t recommend Jenny and Driving to Independence enough.

I’ve had limbgirdle muscular dystrophy for so many years, and hadn’t been able to drive during college, but thanks to Jenny, Jason, Jill and the rest of the team helped me from start to finish through the assessments to make sure I was going to have the right adaptations through literally learning how to drive with a joystick to driving off in my truck! Thanks guys!

They don’t treat you like a client they treated me as a friend. And I will never forget them, so if you always wanted to drive but never thought you could, think again cause you never know what tomorrow brings!

My experience with Driving to Independence has been amazing and smooth on their end. They helped me with every step of the process thoroughly. From picking the right car, making sure I learn how to drive and the rules of the road, and making sure that the modifications fit me like a glove. The driving instructor Jon Sarli (Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant) is the best driving instructor there is. He is so passionate and patient, he really puts his all into teaching you how to be a safe driver. And Jenny Nordine (Registered Occupational Therapist, Certified Driver Rehabilitation Specialist) is also amazing in which she made sure every went well and answered any questions about the process. I seriously recommend Driving to Independence for a disabled person looking for a secure way of obtaining the independence of being about to drive yourself.
