Driving is an important activity for enabling participation in community life. Age-associate changes and medical conditions such as dementias can affect the ability to drive safely. This presentation will focus on the effects of Alzheimer’s disease and dementias on the ability to drive and on the evaluation process to assess fitness-to-drive. Supporting drivers who are no longer safe and their families will also be briefly addressed.

This integrated KTE webinar event is brought to you by the brainXchange in partnership with the Alzheimer Society of Canada and the Canadian Consortium on Neurodegeneration in Aging (CCNA).
