This unique book addresses changes in driving patterns over time, the impact of climate conditions on driving, mental and physical health issues, self-regulation by drivers, and driver safety. "Community Mobility" addresses changes in driving patterns over time, the impact of climate conditions on driving, mental and physical health issues, self-regulation by drivers, and driver safety. This unique book also includes summaries of recent consensus conferences held in the United States and Canada to determine the best approaches to therapist services and counselling. "Community Mobility" examines: the effect of alternative forms of transportation on drivers in declining mental and physical health; safety interventions; the relationship between chronic illness and an elderly driver's "home range"; road conditions versus driving patterns; factors that can act as predictors in mobility patterns; self-regulation and adaptation strategies; effective remediation techniques; and, a comprehensive driving evaluation (CDE). "Community Mobility" is an essential resource for anyone working with elderly drivers who face the loss of independence and the decreased access to social activities, medical services, and other basic needs that accompany "retirement" from the driver's seat.
