Standard driver education programs for the disabled, although generally successful in helping their clients to earn licenses, depend largely on classroom and on-road experience to train severely disabled and cognitively disabled clients. This can lead to hazardous situations when the client has a high anxiety level, or when he is not educationally or functionally prepared for on-road driving. The Louisiana Tech University rehabilitation Engineering Center has developed a driver training system which provides quantitative feedback to the trainer on client progress throughout the training. It uses a five-stage approach based on learning theory, which tends to improve learning time, decrease client anxiety, and thus reduce hazard.
