Graduate Certificate in Assessing Driving Capabilities

The 15-credit post-graduate certificate program aims to train occupational therapists to assess the driving abilities and performance of at-risk populations, re-train drivers, recommend adaptive vehicles and adapt technical aids that will allow physically disabled individuals to return to driving and preserve their independence and quality of life. The program comprises five courses, the first two of which are offered online; the other three are a combination of online and intensive workshops.

Master of Science (non-thesis) in Rehabilitation Science

The program requires three terms of full-time residence study and can usually be completed within three to four terms. It is designed for graduates who hold a B.Sc.
