SUMMARY:CarFit Clinic
DESCRIPTION:CarFit is an educational program that provides a quick\, yet comprehensive review of how well you and your vehicle work together. The program also provides information and materials on community-specific resources that could enhance your driving safety and increase mobility. \nThe program was initially developed by AARP and the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA) and brought to Canada by the Canadian Association of Occupational Therapy (CAOT). \n  \nRecognizing the Need\nOlder adults represent the fastest growing portion of the driving population\, with roughly 2.7 million drivers over the age of 65 on Canadians roads today. Driving today is more difficult than ever\, because of increased traffic congestion\, longer commute distances\, new technology and faster speeds. \nResearch suggests that older drivers are among the safest drivers\, because they are more likely to wear seat belts and less likely to speed or drink and drive. However\, as people age\, they’re more likely to suffer serious injuries or risk death in crashes\, due to greater fragility. \nCommunity mobility is critical for healthy aging\, but ill-fitting vehicles can make it uncomfortable and unsafe to drive. Today’s vehicles have many safety features that offer enhanced restraints and protection\, yet many drivers are unaware of those features or how to best use them. CarFit helps you better understand them and develop strategies to achieve the safest fit.
