Supporting Neurodiverse Learners to Test & Independent Driving - Ebook 4
Book 4 — Supporting Neurodiverse Learners to Test & Independent Driving
Passing the driving test matters.
But the real objective is a driver who can make safe decisions when the instructor is no longer sitting beside them.
Supporting Neurodiverse Learners to Test & Independent Driving explores the later stages of the learning journey: theory, hazard perception, practical-test preparation, assessing readiness, overcoming stalled progress and developing genuine independence.
Written by Approved Driving Instructor and qualified teacher Simon Harrison, this practical guide considers how neurodiverse learners can be supported through the transition from structured driving lessons to independent driving.
Topics include:
theory-test preparation
adapting revision approaches
hazard perception
practical driving-test preparation
anxiety surrounding assessment
evaluating genuine test readiness
recognising when progress has stalled
identifying barriers rather than simply repeating lessons
working appropriately with parents and carers
developing learner reflection and self-evaluation
reducing dependence on instructor prompts
preparing learners for driving beyond the test
reflective practice for ADIs
The book also includes a substantial collection of practical tools and templates to help instructors consider learner needs, plan adaptations, review lessons, monitor prompting, evaluate independence and reflect on progress.
The aim is not simply to help a learner perform well enough to pass a test.
It is to help them become a driver capable of recognising risk, making decisions, managing difficulties and taking responsibility for their own driving.
Supporting Neurodiverse Learners to Test & Independent Driving is Book 4 of The Neurodiverse Driver Training Series and brings the learning journey from supported instruction through to independent driving.
A practical resource for ADIs, PDIs and instructors committed to preparing learners not only for test day, but for the years of driving that follow.
This book and the series is available to buy as paperback on Amazon
