Driving is a valued occupation and occupational therapists have a key role in determining fitness to drive for individuals suffering a stroke. Inpatient hospital stroke clients often ask the question, “When can I drive again?” This paper will review evidence-based predriving assessment tools to determine fitness to drive in the post-stroke population. People suffering a stroke may experience deficits in motor, visual-perceptual, and cognitive domains, which can lead to inability to drive safely. Assessment tool selection will focus on the visual-percetual and cognitive domains. An algorithm will provide a step-by-step process to ensure a transition plan is developed in collaboration with the individuals’s care team prior to discharging from the hospital. Providing the appropriate assessment tools defined for the post-stroke population will help determine one’s ability to resume driving and reintegrate in the community.
