<\/p>\n

3. Individual Driving Assessments: Occupational Therapists (OTs) whose practice involves driver assessment (there will likely be a cost with this service).<\/h3>\n

Use the Find an OT<\/i>\u00a0service on the\u00a0www.caot.ca<\/a>\u00a0website:<\/p>\n\n

\n\t

\n\t\tFind an Occupational Therapist<\/a>\n\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

Put in the city and then select Driver assessment & rehabilitation and you will get a list of OTs (who offer driver assessment services) and their contact information.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

The CAOT also offers this information to the public (although the page is designed for OTs):\u00a0 \u00a0https:\/\/caot.ca\/site\/prac-res\/pr\/nationalblueprintod<\/a><\/p>\n
