Hand controls, foot controls and driving aids are devices that are installed into your vehicle to allow disabled persons to regain their independence and drive safely. Driving controls aid with both primary and secondary functions and include pedal extensions, spinner knobs, steering aids, turn signal crossovers, gear extensions pedal guards and more. Driving aids are designed to help drivers with a variety of mobility challenges. Contact your local Creative Mobility Group location to learn more about the different types of controls and how you can get one installed in your vehicle.

By Michigan law, we would need to have a prescription from a driver rehabilitation specialist, also known as a driver evaluator, that lists the equipment that you need or an endorsement on your driver’s license to install hand controls, driving aids or foot controls into your vehicle. These guidelines are in place to protect the driver and others on the road from driving before they have been properly evaluated, trained and tested to operate a vehicle using this specialized adaptive equipment.

Driver rehabilitation specialists work with people of all ages and abilities to evaluate, train and explore alternative transportation solutions for drivers with special needs. When meeting with your driver evaluator, the process generally includes tests of physical function, vision, perception, attention, motor function, and reaction time, as well as actual driving performance tests. Based on the results, the driver rehabilitation specialist will determine if any foot controls, hand controls or driving aids are needed, whether the individual has the ability to drive independently or at all, and if they require more training.

Hand controls can be installed on most new and used converted vehicles as long as there’s enough room under the steering wheel. Many standard vehicles are compatible as well but vary by make, model and year. Speak with a Mobility Consultant to find out if you can install driving controls in your vehicle.

Installation time of specialized adaptive equipment varies depending on what and where your equipment is being installed. While subject to change, hand control, foot control and driving aid equipment installation can take anywhere from four to eight hours.
