by ADED
Founded in 1977, ADED — the Association for Driver Rehabilitation Specialists — is a non-profit professional organisation whose members work with people with disabilities and older adults to achieve driving independence or plan a safe transition from driving. ADED is the sole body that awards the nationally recognised Certified Driver Rehabilitation Specialist (CDRS) credential, the highest standard of practice in the field.
ADED's consumer-facing website provides a free Provider Locator where anyone can search by zip code for a local CDRS, Driver Rehabilitation Specialist (DRS), or mobility equipment dealer. Certified members perform comprehensive driving evaluations, recommend and fit adaptive equipment (hand controls, spinner knobs, pedal extensions, wheelchair securement), and provide customised in-vehicle training. ADED also publishes consumer factsheets on what to expect during a driving evaluation and how to access funding for adaptive equipment.
ADED serves anyone who needs to evaluate their fitness to drive or return to driving after an acquired disability, injury, illness, or age-related change — including veterans, people with spinal cord injury, stroke survivors, amputees, and those with neurological conditions. The directory is also used by occupational therapists and rehabilitation specialists who refer clients to qualified providers.
