Losing My Independence: Driving and Aging

Presenters: Doug Kim Bai and Suzanne LaFollette-Black AARP

For most adults, driving means independence – the ability to spend time with friends and family, attend church, shop, get to medical appointments, and participate in other activities necessary for physical and emotional well-being. As we age, changes in vision, hearing, physical functioning, and cognition may make driving not only more difficult, but unsafe. Learn the warning signs of driving impairment, evaluation strategies, transportation alternatives, and scenarios for discussing driving with our parents.
