I found Julia online while trying to figure out how to get hand controls installed in my car. I have Cerebral Palsy and have been driving with my legs since I learned how to drive, but I should have had hand controls from the start. After years of hurting myself to drive, I finally took the next step. I was nervous, but Julia made the process so smooth and easy. She helped me decide which equipment was right for me and helped quell my fears during the practice and learning process. I can't recommend her more for anyone looking for an expert on adaptive driving.
I was extremely nervous to get behind the wheel after experiencing a traumatic brain injury, but Adaptable Therapy Services was the perfect choice to get me going! Julia, who is an OT, reviewed my past health history and ensured that everything was in place for my assessment. Her kindness, and expertise really made me feel comfortable in trusting her through this experience. I highly recommend Adaptable Therapy!
Julia was fantastic as my Occupational Therapist testing, training and guiding us through the process of teaching and equipping me for hand controls and the ability to drive again! Patient, kind, professional and always prepared, Julia is the BEST!!! Highly, Highly Recommended!!!! Thank You Julia!!!
Excellent company with fantastic customer service. Highly recommend!
Julia is a thoughtful and caring OT driver rehabilitation specialist who offers exceptional care from the comfort of your home!
5+ years after my stroke, what was most important to me to getting back on the road was both rebuilding my confidence behind the wheel as well as practicing and relearning the fundamentals of driving that I had not worked on in years and working with Julia gave me both of those things ( in a much shorter time than I expected). Working with Julia has been one of the most important parts of my overall recovery to getting back to my pre injury self. Thank you again for everything Julia!
I had a great experience with Julia. As terrified as i was, Julia made it very comfortable and nonthreatening. Would recommend it to anyone requiring evaluation for driving.
From the initial assessment, three driving training sessions, and vehicle modification review; Julia, you have been the ultimate professional with being on time for appointments, providing thorough evaluations/feedback both verbal and written, having a confidence enhancing disposition while road training and recommending other excellent vendors (e.g. Mr. Oscar Sandoval, AMS Vans -Vehicle Modification Director/Expert). So far, you are 5 out 5 on a five-star rating scale. We are looking forward to completing the process as evident by Alisa successfully passing the state driving examination in her modified equipment vehicle.
Very respectfully,
