Dementia and Driving
About
The Dementia and Driving: A Decision Aid aims to support individuals living with dementia and their family members with decisions about driving. Early conversations and planning for a time when driving oneself is not possible, will ensure the maintenance of important social activities.
The Australian decision aid has been translated and is available in Chinese, Italian, Vietnamese and Greek. Adapted versions for Canada, the United Kingdom and New Zealand are also freely available to download as a PDF. A new online United Kingdom interactive version is now available.
