I would give 0 stars if I could. Strive for Independence is a terrible option for adapted driving…read more I had lots of issues with scheduling and the instructor Brandon. Lessons weren't scheduled in a timely fashion. Brandon didn't work with me to come up with a vehicle set up that I could safely drive with and was not open to trying different set ups. Brandon is also not very knowledgeable and made the recommendation that I don't continue driving. Fortunately, I was able to change companies and I got my driver's license after working with a more experienced instructor and using a completely different vehicle set up. After my evaluation, it was 3 months before my first lessons. After my first 10 hours driving, it was another 6 weeks before I had another lesson. Brandon had to cancel my last lesson and didn't make an effort to reschedule until I reached out 3 weeks later. At this point, I looked at other options. Brandon did not work well with me. He was calm during lessons, but that's the only good thing about him. Their were several issues with the vehicle that he didn't address that hurt my ability to drive. First, in their vehicle, I had to raise the seat of my powerchair to see over the steering wheel. This made me less stable when turning, so it made it harder to control the vehicle. Second, Brandon made a significant change to how my hand controls were set up. Instead of giving me time to adapt and learn it, he kept kept telling me "You need to be better and make more progress." Brandon became frustrated when I wasn't driving as well in my second lesson and didn't acknowledge the major change he implemented. Additionally, he never made a serious effort to place a vehicle control screen in a spot I could reach. I would not be able to independently drive without reaching those controls, so it's frustrating that he never tried to determine where it should go. All of these factors make me believe Brandon and Strive for Independence are not as committed to helping people drive as they want you to believe. After this, I changed companies and began working with the Master's Driving School in Wisconsin. The instructor was much better and had a better vehicle set up. At Master's, I had a single joystick that controlled gas, brake, and steering. This was much easier to control. Additionally, I didn't have to raise the seat of my chair to see over the steering wheel. This made me significantly more stable when turning. Master's also scheduled much faster than Strive for Independence did. I was able to get my driver's license working with them in less than 2 months after my first behind the wheel session.

For me to drive again after my ordeal, the State requires me to attend a driving school…read more Strive for Independence was referred to me by my doctor, Shirley Ryan, and Northwestern Medicine. Heather, who I spoke to initially, provided me with great details about the program they offer. She was patient with my concerns and questions even after my initial phone call. Danielle, the Occupational Therapist, returned my calls with my follow-up of never-ending questions and concerns and was very kind. Check-in was a breeze. I then went through a series of cognitive, rules of the roads, and traffic signs tests before an actual road test. Danielle then accompanied me for a drive around the neighborhood. It irks me to walk around in my neighborhood and notice drivers fail to stop at the stop signs on residential streets. Therefore, I made sure I stopped completely and looked both ways before I proceeded. The drive took approximately 45 minutes before we returned to the office when she informed me of the good news. The office buildings have plenty of parking spaces available for students and visitors. The staff were professional and cordial. P. S. If you are reading my review, I pray you'll never have to go through what I went through the last few months. Here's to good health!

They notified us during his last drive that they misplaced all of his paperwork. We spent several days putting the documents together a second time. After waiting a few weeks for the driving school to get their paperwork filed properly we went to the DMV for his license - only to find out Drive Home Safe had not sent a letter of completion to the Secretary of States office. Seriously?! How much time does to take to put a student's file in order and follow through? Have they not heard of a checklist?? I'm tired of saying to my disappointed son ... We'll try again in a few weeks. That being said, according to my son, one or two driving instructors were funny, and the class was tolerable not too boring.
