Having established the Safe Driver Hub, an assessment service for older drivers experiencing memory and thinking changes, David knew there was so much more to help people beyond the clinic.
"What do I do now?", "How do I talk to him about it?", "If you take my license from me, my life isn't worth living".
From these difficult situations, David built this program to overcome these obstacles, to empower people to take control and live with greater freedom.
Occupational Therapist, Speaker and Memory Health Champion, David Norris is sharing his clinical knowledge in easy bite sized lessons.
He has a wealth of experience covering ageing, elderhood and acquired neurological conditions and complex needs.
His focus is to work with people who experience cognitive changes and to optimise their strengths for maximum living and he brings this practical and actionable advice for you to apply today.

IS THIS FOR ME?
Many people make financial plans for retirement, but not everyone plans for other changes that may come with age. This includes changes in your driving ability —your ability to get around and to live life.
Journal of the American Geriatrics Society study showed "stopping driving is associated with declines in general health and physical, social and cognitive function, and with greater risks of admission to long-term care facilities and even mortality."
Most people make the decision to stop driving by themselves BUT the loss of freedom and independence doesn't need to happen. So, the Mobile For Life training is for you:
- If you want to... stay independent, mobile about your home and community for as long as possible.
- If you want to... best plan for the day you when you decide to stop driving so you can live life on your terms.
- If you want to still keep driving and stay safe and on the road for as long as possible.
- AND If you want to... best help your loved one who may not be aware or avoid the topic of their driving performance. A step by step process to help your loved one be car free with dignity whilst safeguarding their independence.
- If your said "YES That's Me!"to any of the above then this program is FOR YOU!
