Driving with Parkinson’s: Tips for maintaining safety and driving longevity.
Saturday, September 25 | 10:30am - 12:15pm
Join us for an educational opportunity with Kathryn Seibert, OTR/L, DRS, to talk about tips for maintaining safety and driving longevity. The ability to drive is closely linked to our ideas of independence and identity. After a medical diagnosis, driving may be a sensitive subject to discuss because it is seen as a deeply personal topic. We believe that knowledge is key to making decisions and an individualized approach is best.
This presentation will focus on the potential impacts that symptoms of Parkinson’s disease may have on driving, assessments for driving fitness, and tips for continuing to drive as long as safely possible.
To register, please call (303) 830-1839 or email Emma.
Please note that if fewer than five individuals have registered before September 22, the event will be canceled. The Parkinson Association of the Rockies will contact you in the event of a cancellation.
