Michigan Autism Driving Resources

This state seems to be on the modest side in terms of driving resources. Having done a lot of research in other states during Memorial Day weekend, this is better than what I saw in other states. As always, comment or message me if I missed any resources. Thank you for using this resource and have a wonderful day!

A&A Driving Schools 
This driving school has 50 plus years of experience with certified staff members as driver rehab specialists and have ADED membership. Services include behind the wheel evaluations, clinical pre-driver assessments. To qualify, you need a physician's prescription, meet state laws for licensing and being seizure free for six months. Payment wise, you can use funding sources from the Michigan Rehabilitation Services and worker compensation. 

 
Non-Driving Schools: 

Drive Able 
Cynthia Burt created Drive Able to provide driver rehab services in the Detroit area. Her general services include clinical assessments, driver readiness evaluation, driver rehab training, and alternative transportation consultation. Requirements to getting services is like A&A Driving School where you need a physician's prescription.  Funding sources are also the same along with the addition of using insurance.  


Drive Well 

They offer both clinical and behind the wheel evaluations to help new drivers know the best route for them going forward. Driver training is also offered to do an hour and a half session to help people learn safe driving skills. Pricing wise, they have a “make an appointment” page that lists all the programs and prices, even including programs with insurance considered.  
 
Beaumont Driver Rehabilitation
They provide new and experienced drivers with their evaluation and training programs. It is conducted by an OT who is a driver rehab specialist. The assessment goes over the physical and cognitive aspects, while going over any driver history as well. To enter, an individual must meet a series of requirements like being age 18 and physician referral. Payment wise, there was no prices mentioned, but it depends on the service and number of sessions.
