Community Mobility: Driving and Transportation Alternatives for Older Persons

By Ellen D. Taira

Book Overview

For older adults, having affordable, easy-to-use, and flexible transportation options is vital to their quality of life. Community Mobility provides physical and occupational therapists with recent research findings on older driver assessment, remediation/rehabilitation, and the use of alternatives to the car in the event that older adults need to "retire" from driving. This unique book addresses changes in driving patterns over time, the impact of climate conditions on driving, mental and physical health issues, self-regulation by drivers, and driver safety.
