Braintree Rehabilitation Hospital Outpatient Clinic at Milford to Offer Driving Evaluation Program

Oct. 3, 2011 - PRLog -- September 30, 2011 (Milford, MA) – Braintree Rehabilitation Hospital (BRH), a world-class rehabilitative care provider, announced that it will now offer its Driving Evaluation Program at its Outpatient Clinic at Milford. This new service, previously only available at BRH locations in Braintree and Plymouth, was developed for individuals with disabilities – including those recovering from stroke, amputations, and spinal cord injuries – as well as those experiencing age-related issues affecting vision, dexterity, and reaction times.

The program begins with a clinical assessment performed by an occupational therapist to test visual acuity, cognition and perception, physical mobility, and driving skills under simulated conditions. Upon successful assessment of part one of the program, a road assessment follows conducted in a driving school vehicle under the supervision of an occupational therapist and driving instructor.

Program participants must meet certain medical requirements for admission, possess a current driver’s license or instructional permit, and have a physician’s order form. Cost of the program (if paid on the date of service) is $140.00 for the clinical assessment and $49.50 for the road assessment, with an additional $150.00 fee for the driving school instructor.

Braintree Rehabilitation Hospital Outpatient Clinic at Milford is located at 25 Birch Street, Building A, 2nd Floor, Milford, Massachusetts. For more information about the Driving Evaluation program, call 508.478.7126 or visit www.braintreerehabhospital.com.
