Who is the Specialist Driving Instructor?
The Specialist Driving Instructor (SDI) is a driving instructor with the added experience of working with people with disability.
They have driving modifications fitted to their vehicle and can instruct you on how to use this equipment.
You may need to liaise with more than one instructor to find the one who has the equipment you want to drive with and the personality / communication style that you feel comfortable with.
Driving instructors specialising in disability are available throughout the Sydney region and have sedan type vehicles fitted with a range of driving controls, from standard Spinner Knob, Satellite Accelerator, Trigger Accelerator, Ergonomic Radial and some with the latest addition to the range, the Easy Drive.
Instructors are trained to work with drivers that have a range of disabilities that may or may not require vehicle modifications. We encourage trialling various systems to ensure the correct equipment is fitted to your vehicle.
The Specialist Driving Instructor is an integral part of this assessment process in conjunction with a Driver Trained Occupational Therapist (DTOT).
Always consult a DTOT first when driving modifications are required or when considering alternate systems.
