Our Goal

Intersection of Driver Rehabilitation and Training

The Driver Rehabilitation Institute (DRI) is a 501(c)3 charitable organization that enables improved driving outcomes and quality of life related to transportation. Since 2005, DRI has advanced road safety globally through programs and evidence-based technologies proven to increase transportation safety and accessibility.

DRI routinely provides workshops and trainings in Australia, Canada, the Republic of South Africa, and the United States. We collaborate and consult with research institutions who request our expertise in the area of medical conditions and driving.

The proceeds from our work goes into programs like Drive Focus. These income sources and donations help us provide low-cost tools that address barriers for those returning to drive after a medical condition, need help to maintain their ability to drive, or support when learning to drive. The cost of those tools are not covered in the sales alone. We need your help to keep tools like Drive Focus available so that anyone can have access to them.

As a clinician in a neuro clinic, I use Drive Focus with many of my patients. It's a terrific home program with objective feedback on speed of processing and visual attention. Patients love that it looks like driving and enjoy trying to improve their scores.

Drive Focus has been well received by Australian Occupational Therapists at two national conferences and during many workshops, with excitement about the opportunities for our clients and their driving. My clients find it easy and fun to use. It was a privilege to support Drive Focus with recording the Melbourne videos.

Megan Coulter

Occupational Therapist

Drive Focus has taken Australia by storm! Driving Well OT in Brisbane collaborated with Miriam to bring Drive Focus to Australia, winning the Australian Road Safety Foundation award in 2021. It’s worldwide OT conference premier was in Melbourne (“Mel-bin”!) in June 2022, with OTs being excited and impressed by the impact Drive Focus can have on clients with executive functioning disorders who want to learn or return to driving. Affordable, accessible, brain-training for driving!

Jenny Gribbin

Occupational Therapist

I recommend Drive Focus to patients who have had strokes, brain injuries, cognitive or visual processing limitations and students with special needs exploring if they are ready to drive. Drive Focus is motivating because it looks like driving. After using Drive Focus my clients are much more relaxed and prepared for driving.

Drive Focus is the best first step available to assist people who need help learning to drive and lack access to professional assistance.

My daughter, who is on the autism spectrum, used Drive Focus to help prepare for behind the wheel driving lessons. Her ability to recognize and prioritize signals, traffic, and potential hazards increased dramatically. She enjoyed the app and gained a lot of self-confidence.

I love using Drive Focus with my clients recovering from strokes to work on scanning and processing activities in preparation for driving. I also use Drive Focus with inexperienced drivers to get ready to learn to drive. The app is easy to use, very affordable, and the visuals are great!

Susie Touchinsky

Adaptive Mobility Services, LLC

I highly recommend Drive Focus to help prepare a student to get behind the wheel of a car. I went from not knowing where to look while driving to being able to recognize the most important things for a driver to notice. It doesn't get boring because of the different cities that you drive through as you improve.
