Navigating the Road Ahead: Understanding Driving and Parkinson’s
Driving can symbolize freedom and independence, making decisions around driving a particularly sensitive subject for people living with Parkinson's disease. This webinar will address the complex considerations of driving with Parkinson's, including safety, self-assessment, and available resources. Participants will gain insights into how Parkinson's can impact driving skills, explore options for assessing driving abilities, and learn about practical approaches to planning for the future. Through expert guidance and real-life perspectives, this session aims to empower individuals and families to approach this topic with confidence, compassion, and informed decision-making.
