Arizona Autism Driving Resources

I was quite surprised to see fewer results than expected in my research. Arizona has Mesa, which is an autism friendly city, one of the few cities with that title. There are numerous organizations like the Autism Society of Greater Phoenix and the Autism Society of Southern Arizona. Arizona also has First Place, one of the few major housing organizations out there in the country. I was not expecting to find further driving resources, then compared to other states like Massachusetts. Despite this, I feel confident that there be more to list here in the near future. As always, comment below or message me if you have resources that I do not list here, and I will add them. Thank you for using this resource and have a wonderful day!  



Driving Schools

In Arizona, their services involve driver assessment, evaluations, bioptic training, and senior safety. They cover a variety of disabilities, autism, learning disabilities, and other conditions like stroke. Clinical assessment goes over cognitive and visual aspects of driving tasks in order to provide a recommendation after the behind the wheel assessment. Payment-wise, they have funders that can be contacted, and they have more information about them on their resource page.
