Decision-making about driving and the transition to non-driving is a challenging and complex issue affecting drivers with dementia and their families. Healthcare/service providers can play an important role in facilitating and supporting drivers and their families to make this transition.

In this webinar, Drs. Gary Naglie and Mark Rapoport who lead a team of CCNA researchers focused on dementia and driving, will discuss how healthcare/service providers can address the issue of driving in persons with dementia. They will demonstrate how to use the Driving and Dementia Roadmap – a newly developed online educational resource to guide people with dementia, family/friend carers and healthcare/service providers through this process.
