Course Description
Driving is the highest level IADL a person participates in on a daily basis. People need to be able to safely drive to get around their town and keep them independent especially in rural areas. Driving is usually one of the hardest IADLs for a person to give up. Learn how the Interactive Metronome can be an effective tool to help our clients begin or return to driving. This course will be based on a case study that allowed a client to participate in this IADL when traditional therapies failed.
