Abstract

A preliminary investigation of the utility of driving simulators as an assessment and training device for individuals with perceptual motor disabilities indicates a high correlation between simulator and road test performance scores (R = 0.88, p < .001). The use of driving simulators in drivers training programs may provide handicapped individuals with a safe, economical and individualized training environment. However, this study does not address the question of predictive validity and these results should not be used to deny an individual access to training programs.
