This special issue of the American Journal of Occupational Therapy includes
summaries from a systematic evidence-based literature review of occupational
therapy and driving and community mobility for older adults. Since the previous
review on this topic in 2008,
the cohort of 78 million baby boomers began turning
65 in January 2011. As a group, this cohort is more likely to have longer life
expectancy, stay in the workforce longer, and age in place in the community. Is
the occupational therapy profession ready for the potential demand for driving
rehabilitation services from this generation of older drivers who grew up with
the automobile and are dependent on it for access to and participation in their
communities?
