With age comes natural changes to vision, information processing, flexibility, and the speed of reflexes, which can affect a person’s ability to drive safely.

To help senior drivers find a better “fit” with their cars in terms of comfort and safety, mobility experts from OU Health Occupational Therapy are hosting a safety program designed to assist drivers 50+ and their families.

CarFit is a national program developed by AARP and the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA). It provides a quick, yet comprehensive, assessment of how well an older driver and their vehicle fit together.
