Hello all.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to come but I'm looking for advice. I suffer from Quadreplegic Cerbral Palsy. I use an electric wheelchair on a daily basis and I'm looking into wanting to learn to drive. 

I would require a car whereby I can drive from my wheelchair and obviously would require specialist adaptions however I'm not sure where to start. 

I know that Motability have a specialist grants department which can support with advance payments etc.

How would I go about getting an assessment for what I require? Do I need to aquire the car first before I can learn to drive? Do I require specialist driving lessons? If so where would I go for these within the county of Hampshire?

Any support is greatly appreciated!
