abstract: Proper and early assessment of the handicapped person's potential for driving a vehicle depends upon an understanding of the factors involved in a driver evaluation. The driver evaluation factors discussed in this paper are: driving aids and their application; the handicapped driver's physical, perceptive, and cognitive capabilities; and the psychosocial characteristics that influence a client's ability and need for driving.
