Time: 5:30pm – 7:00pm
In this interactive Round Table we will address and discuss the often-challenging, frequently sensitive discussions and decisions around driving with PD. Topics may include: * Impairment signs to look for * Initiating the conversations * Resources to consult * Options after you “park the car”*, and more. If you don’t think you or your partner are planning to “park the car” just yet, please join us so you’re ready when that time comes.

Bio:
Melanie Henry is the CEO of Driver Cognitive Assessment Center, LLC (DCAC). Melanie was employed for several years as a private caregiver, and it was during this time that she found her other passion: helping seniors. Melanie went on to manage a volunteer driver senior medical ride program with a local non-profit. It was there that she saw the challenges faced by so many older drivers. She began her research and realized the Bay Area needed this driving assessment technology. Melanie is a licensed driving instructor and helps seniors to build on their defensive driving skills and regain confidence behind the wheel.
Melanie holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Welfare Studies from Western Sydney University in Australia and is currently participating in ongoing training in the Driver Rehabilitation Professional field.
