The AOTA Older Driver Website www.aota.org/olderdriver has been updated with a new look and more content. This new format will allow us more flexibility for adding content.
Please check out the announcement for Older Driver Week December 6 to 12, 2009. We encourage you to schedule an activity that week (see many ideas offered as suggestions) and be sure to tell us what you are doing by reply on OT Connections!! In addition, we will promote activities to the media if you send a detailed e-mail describing your activity to praota@aota.org
This is an exciting opportunity to get the word out about Older Driver Programs, Driving Rehabilitation Programs and occupational therapy's role in this growing practices area!

We'll be doing a few things during Older Driver Week. On Monday Dec 7 we're going to have a "We Need to Talk" seminar. Also, we've reserved our community bulletin board for the week and will be displaying information about older driver safety and our own driving program.
