[quote=Anonymous]Mom of two sons with disabilities, both of whom can drive. Since you are paying for expensive lessons and there are still problems, yes, I would get an evaluation. Knowing what I know and knowing your goal, I would first check out ADHD and second I would look at whether anxiety is an issue. Both are easily diagnosed and both are easily remediated by medication. The gold standard would be a neuropsych. But, given that you are looking at the limited issue of driving, I'd check with your pediatrician or maybe get a psychiatric evaluation. My oldest had mild ADHD and moderate anxiety. He was really successful driving with low doses of medication but not at all successful without it. After about two years of driving, he was able to go off medication and he is a trustworthy driver. [/quote]
