Driver’s Education with Additional Support, SFT079 
 This course provides the exact same MVA curriculum as SFT-123 Driver Education, but with built-in supports.
Montgomery College's Driving School and its instructors are Maryland MVA licensed and certified. Our additional support instructors are dually certified in Special Education. This course, in a small classroom environment, prepares rookie drivers to test for a Maryland driver’s license. Our 36-hour course consists of 10 three-hour classroom sessions, and 3 two-hour individual sessions using our own cars.

Students under 18 MUST be accompanied by a mentor (parent, guardian, etc.) to the first class/orientation session, and all students MUST bring their learner's permit to the first class/orientation session. Montgomery College educates mentors on how to manage the learning-to-drive experience through our mentor / parental involvement expectations, our 12 driver readiness indicators with self-assessments, and a collaborative approach between mentor and instructor(s).

Important Notice: Starting Summer 2023, all Driver Education students must attend the first class. Makeups will not be allowed for the first class. If a student misses the first class, then they have to re-start the course at a later date.

Additional Supports include, but are not limited to:

Differentiated instruction, supplemental aides and supports including a multi-sensory approach to learning. 
Behind the wheel is one-on-one instruction with a dually certified MVA and MSDE Special Education Educator 
Smaller class size 
Quizzes and tests are read aloud 
Extra time is granted to students for quizzes and tests 
Manipulatives (toy cars) are used to better explain situations 
A copy of all PowerPoints and instructor notes is provided to student
We hope to empower Parents, Special Educators and even Driver Education Instructors to be supportive by knowing:

The Driver Education Readiness Indicators. See Readiness Assessment form 
Preparation activities parents/mentors can to facilitate the driver education experience. 
Coping skills the student driver can do while learning to drive.
What should I do if I have a disability support request?

Register for a class

Please note that due to the nature of driver education, certain additional documentation may be requested.[/quote]
