ROLLING REHAB SERVICES

Rolling Rehab has provided a driving assessment and consultancy service since 2009 to people who have a disability or limitation, and who need advice on what vehicles and adaptations would be suited to their needs as drivers or passengers, as well as whether they are capable of driving after suffering a disease or disability that may have affected their ability to adequately control a vehicle.

In 2025 Caroline Rule will be relocating to the Western Cape, and therefore this assessment service in Gauteng is being discontinued.  However, Caroline will continue to be involved with both therapist and driving instructor training.   There are currently several other therapists in Gauteng who also offer driving assessments.   Please open this link for a list of services offered. 

OCCUPATIONAL THERAPISTS IN GAUTENG THAT DO DRIVING ASSESSMENTS

We regularly run workshops for therapists and driving instructors who want to improve their knowledge about driving adaptations and the effects of disability on driving ability, as we believe that the more people who understand the needs of drivers with disabilities, the better.   Online training for therapists wanting to learn the art of driving assessments is available on the Driver Fitness Coalition Website – https://driverfitness.co.za/e-learning/

We also try to present a couple of fun events each year to give people with disabilities the opportunity to get out there, to get dirty, have fun and to learn from each other.  These are normally advertised on our Rolling Rehab or Drive and Thrive Facebook pages.  Caroline has recently started an Adaptive Sailing and Adaptive Canoeing project at Reitvlei Dam in Centurion, and she hopes to continue and grow this project once she is settled in Stanford.  

Thank you SABC 3 for this opportunity to demonstrate how our Occupational Therapist, Caroline Rule, gets involved with guiding people with disabilities into making the best choice of vehicles and adaptations according to their functional abilities.
