Shifting gears for autism - Project to make autism into a fixed concept in training for driving examiners (R-7596)

With 'Shifting gears to autism' we aim to increase integration of young people with autism in society. Persons with autism still rely heavily on friends and family for their transport. In cooperation with Federdrive IMOB will develop a curriculum to teach driving instructors. This 1-day training will consist of a combination of research and practice. Driving instructors learn about autism features and receive tips and tricks to deal with them.
