I grew up in the upper Midwest and attended the University of North Dakota for my degree in Occupational Therapy. After 20+ years of snow, wind and cold I was ready to never see snow again! Moving to Arizona brought me closer to my parents and nearly eliminated the chance of snow. I enjoyed working in two major hospitals in the Phoenix metro area over the next 10 years including inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation.

Being that I have been an excellent driver for over half my life I was confused as how they might help me. the agency does way more than just teach driving, Jill helped me get a van that was going to function for me as easily as possible now and for later in life as my disability progressed. Jill gave me tons of tips to make driving better for me. they We're very professional, yet friendly, and quite knowledgeable about the handicapped vehicles at people with disabilities. I highly recommend Driving To Independence for new drivers and experienced drivers like myself!

Awesome people to work with on getting driving instruction. Update post instruction: My wife took all the training needed to drive. The last test is kind of an exam like you would have at the DMV. They wanted her to get off her mobility scooter from the rear of the van and walk to the front. My wife never did that during any of the training. They stated that was a requirement.
If that was the case, WHY did you not say that in the beginning. Wasted about $2000 on driving training because of a major detail that would have been helpful in the beginning.
