DriveABLE Testimonials
“Both the DriveABLE In-Office and DriveABLE On-Road Tests have been developed following a rigorous scientific process based on identifying and measuring key factors which discriminate between impaired and non-impaired drivers. Further, the DriveABLE™ In-Office Test has been shown to be strongly predictive of performance on the DriveABLE™ Road Test enabling it to perform the valuable function of substituting for an actual on-road test; the gold standard for driving capability relied upon by many licensing authorities.”
Jim Langford, Monash University Accident Research Centre Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
"... clearly the best that I have seen throughout the world. [DriveABLE’s] evaluation tools are what physicians need to assist them in their decision about which of their patients with dementia and other cognitive disabilities are still able to drive."
John W. Eberhard, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
“ [DriveABLE] is designed to assess OBJECTIVELY the ability of cognitively impaired patients to drive being the only scientifically validated instrument available. In all areas of medicine we like to make “evidence based” decisions whenever possible (which is ideal from a medical, moral, patient as well as medical-legal standpoint). In many areas of medicine this is not possible; however DriveABLE makes evidence based decision making available for drivers with known or suspected cognitive impairment. We have been using DriveABLE now for many years and it is essentially the only instrument we use to assess our patients. It has been invaluable in allowing us to help ensure unsafe drivers are identified and that safe drivers are also accurately identified despite their cognitive impairment.”
Ira Goodman, MD, Neurology & Director, Memory Disorder Clinic Orlando Regional Healthcare System “The current article critiques the most available tool used to evaluate seniors whose driving has become worrisome: DriveABLE…the evaluation is now economically and administratively feasible for both large and small hospitals…The prevailing sentiment among healthcare workers is that our professional roles are indeed facilitated by the DriveABLE Assessment.”
P. McCracken, MD, FRCPC The DriveABLE Assessment: A Review. The Canadian Review of Alzheimer’s Disease and Other Dementias, 2007
“After careful consideration, and by unanimous vote, DriveABLE was selected as the driving evaluation to provide to our clients. DriveABLE has been highly recommended by every user with whom we have spoken. Most users refer to DriveABLE as the “standard” by which all other tools should be measured.”
Sid Breman, CPA, Assistant Vice President for Research Florida Atlantic University “Your research on medically at-risk drivers has given physicians, health care professionals and licensing authorities a long awaited scientific evaluation to identify and assess competence declines that are outside the range of healthy, normal drivers.”
Selma B. Sauls, Planner II, Division of Driver Licenses State of Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles “I believe that the help, encouragement and direction of [DriveABLE] reduced the stress level and enabled me to feel comfortable and confident in my abilities as I took the drivers test. I felt that they were "on my side" in this situation and they would make every effort to help me regain my license. I truly appreciate the professionalism and dedication these people bring to their jobs!”
Alan Fitzhugh, Client, DriveABLE™ Ottawa “I find this to be a very objective test where I can rely on and use the assessment results instead of clinical judgement. It has replaced about 75% of the tests I normally used. I like the report, it is very professional and definitive.”
