Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder can make life extremely challenging. As an individual living with ADHD approaches adulthood, they often ask about driving and learning to drive. The good news is, Herts Ability is on hand to support you!
The first thing to do is to complete a short assessment, with an Occupational Therapist and a Specialist Approved Driving Instructor. In many cases, this will give you your first driving experience.
For your Herts Ability team, it will identify the things you find easy and the things you don’t find so easy. It’ll also identify how you learn best.
Once the driving assessment is completed, you and the team will have a great idea of how to progress your driving career.
Herts Ability has an excellent driving school that you are welcome to join.
The expert instructors will work at a pace that suits you and they’ll have a great understanding of the way you work. You’ll even get some theory test support, if needed.
Herts Ability will support you, every step of the way. We’ll even communicate with the DVSA for you, so that they can make any adjustments you need when taking the driving test.
