Occup Ther Health Care. 2014 Apr;28(2):203-8. doi: 10.3109/07380577.2014.903450.

Abstract

This paper describes the development and use of information sheets for occupational therapy practitioners to use as guides for evaluation and intervention planning to address their client's driving and community mobility needs. Called Driving Pathways by Diagnosis Sheets, the information assists therapists with direction to connect impairment to driving risk and incorporate intervention to client goals and priorities related to driving and community mobility. An example of one of the sheets for the diagnosis of arthritis is highlighted and implications for use are discussed.
