Introduction:
Continuing
Occupational Therapy Education organized by Academic Council of OT for members
of AIOTA is intended to provide planned & organized learning activities
designed to maintain, improve, or expand knowledge and skills to develop new
knowledge and skills relevant to the enhancement of practice, education, or
theory to improve the safety and welfare of the patients in hospitals
institutions and private set ups. The safety is important, but so is mobility.
Balancing these two values in an automobile-dependent world is the highest
priority. Driving is a very complex task. Understanding all of the factors that
make it possible to drive safely and that may present barriers to a driver
continuing to drive safely requires specialized training and education by
specifically trained therapists. Occupational Therapists with such specialized
training in driver rehabilitation are able to identify not only a driver's
strengths but also the physical, visual, and cognitive challenges the
individual faces. As a result, specifically trained OT’s can evaluate an individual's overall ability
to operate a vehicle safely and, if needed, recommend ways to limit risks.
Occupational Therapists have the extensive training and knowledge needed to
recognize the impact of medical conditions and the aging process on driving
performance. They use skill-building, behavioral, and adaptive approaches to
keeping a person mobile in his or her community, even if he or she must limit
or stop driving. The Academic Council of Occupational Therapy is organizing
COTE on “Drivers Rehabilitation’ for the first time at Mumbai.
