About us
The Association of Disability Driving Instructors is an independent, not for profit, Community Interest Company.
Set up in partnership with Driving Mobility (the new name for the Forum of Mobility Centres), we aim to provide a "one stop shop" offering information and advice about learning to drive, or returning to driving after accident/illness, for disabled people, people with special educational needs and those with hearing difficulties.
The Association will be supported by an on line register of UK driving instructors specialising in teaching disabled people to drive. The register will be free to the end user and easily accessible to all.
We are also aiming to help the specialist driving instructor develop their abilities by providing practical training and education (with recognised qualifications) relevant to the sector in which they are working.
We also hope to introduce an accreditation scheme, backing up the training and education, to give evidence of experience and expertise.
The Association will promote the services of the specialist driving instructors amongst the community they support.

Samantha S. asked:Can anyone recommend a driving instructor who will teach me to drive whilst I am wheelchair bound? I am awaiting a full knee replacement and now use a wheelchair, however my OH thinks I have enough movement in my 'bad' knee to still learn to drive. Thought I might take the opportunity whilst I am off work and have a lot of free time. Might be worth someone taking me out for a trial lesson and see if I am able to carry on and learn. Edit* I have 3 years road experience as I'm a biker... Had a bike accident, hence the need to drive and the damaged kneeCarol M. replied:https://www.disabilitydrivinginstructors.com/

Rob C. asked:Anyone cover Little Eaton near Derby? I've received this request and will pass on your details if you like : "My son is 18 and has ASD with learning difficulties. He is working as an apprentice gardener and has obtained his provisional licence. Your driving school seems to be ideally suited to his needs, however we live in Little Eaton near Derby. Would our location be a problem?"John R. replied:Rob I am close & could possibly cover this if he wants automatic or could refer on to a local colleague if manual tuition is required. get them to contact me at Disability Driving Instructors: 0844 800 7355 / admin@disabilitydrivinginstructors.com
