New Driving Simulator to Assess Driving Abilities of Disabled Metro Detroiters
Gesher Human Services, one of the largest human service agencies in metro Detroit which provides programming, services and job opportunities for local people living with disabilities, has a new driving simulator at its Southfield location (29699 Southfield Road). The equipment was made possible through a $35,000 grant from the Byron and Dorothy Gerson Innovation Fund. The simulator session provides a pre-driving assessment in a safe environment. Afterwards a detailed report is generated which can be shared with family and physicians to enable an informed decision about whether driving would be possible for the participant.
