Hello all, I am new on here. My father has been using driving as a motivation to get him through rehab post stroke and seizure, a year and half of physio and speech and language and he is doing amazingly well. I am trying to find out if anyone else has knowledge on how i can get him help to practise driving again? It isn't his physical strength i worry about in an adapted car but his awareness and speed of reactions, he would feel more confident having lessons and we all feel its almost like relearning to drive again for him post brain damage. I am hoping he will be able to drive again and he would love to achieve this. Any help gratefully received as I m learning as I go. Many thanks.
