EPISODE TITLE: Driving Rehab with Terri Cassidy
EPISODE SUMMARY: In this episode of NOGGINS & NEURONS: Brain Injury Recovery Simplified, Doro and Deb talk with Terri Cassidy, OTD, OTR/L, CDRS about driving after stroke. We covered a lot of ground in this interesting conversation. Highlights include:
- Terri’s journey into private practice
- Meeting clients where they are
- Community connections and client rapport
- Importance of early and often conversations around driving safety and retirement.
- FREE RESOURCE FOR PROVIDERS: Generalist Resource to Integrate Driving (GRID) contains assessments and scoring information; Not everyone needs to see a specialist (moderate to severe dementia) grid for decision making
- Value of a driving risk assessment
- Progression of driving evaluation: start to finish.
- OT-Drive Model: Integrating the Instrumental Activity of Daily Living (I-ADL) of driving and community mobility into routine practice
- Clinical Assessment Tools that Terri & Doro use as part of the driving evaluation
- The importance of potential - leave room for recovery that hasn’t happened yet. This can be more clinical rehab as well as training within the vehicle
- Terri’s business has a readiness to drive program – for people with history of CVA, brain injury as children. Helping people make decisions around driving appropriateness.
- Terri’s wisdom for practitioners, survivors, care partners – keep asking questions!
