Every day in Canada occupational therapists are asked to assess clients with neurological impairments and to provide recommendations to provincial licensing bureaus regarding the individual's fitness to drive. These decisions have great impact on the client and on society. In this paper we briefly review the findings that have been published regarding the assessment of — individuals with neurological conditions who wish to resume driving. In addition, a description of the tools commonly used to assess individuals is provided, along with where available, the measurement properties of each. Finally, the Driving Evaluation Service of a physical rehabilitation centre is described.
