Here is a preview of a new course in development entitled "New Guidelines for Driving & Dementia". In addition, click on this PSA link  geriatricresearch.medicine.dal.ca/notifbutwhen.htm produced by the Geriatric Medicine Research Unit of Dalhousie University in Canada. It was made to help caregivers understand their role in the problem of driving and dementia. Additional information can be found at http://www.ama-assn.org/ama/pub/physician-resources/public-health/promoting-healthy-lifestyles/geriatric-health/older-driver-safety/assessing-counseling-older-drivers.shtml where you can read The Physician's Guide to Assessing and Counseling Older Drivers that was developed by the American Medical Association in cooperation with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
