Turner Syndrome:
Driving Readiness and Resources

Learning to drive is an important step toward independence, confidence, and participation in everyday life. For individuals with Turner syndrome, preparing to drive may involve consideration of visual-spatial, motor, sensory, cognitive, and executive functioning skills.

New Resource: Driver’s Education Readiness Rubric

The Turner Syndrome Foundation is pleased to introduce the Driver’s Education Readiness Rubric, an educational resource designed to help individuals, families, educators, and professionals better understand skills that may be relevant when preparing for driver education and behind-the-wheel instruction.

The rubric is intended to support awareness, preparation, and informed discussion. It can help identify areas of strength and areas where additional instruction, practice, accommodations, or professional evaluation may be helpful.

The rubric is not a diagnostic or clinical assessment, a driving test, or a determination that an individual is safe or qualified to drive. It does not replace an evaluation by a qualified healthcare professional, occupational therapist, driving rehabilitation specialist, driving instructor, or other appropriately trained professional.

Complete the brief form below to access the Driver’s Education Readiness Rubric at no cost.

You can also view the Turner Syndrome Foundation’s driving readiness webinars to learn more about the skills involved in driving, potential challenges for individuals with Turner syndrome, and strategies that can support preparation, learning, and independence.

Together, the webinars and rubric provide educational tools to help individuals and families learn, prepare, ask informed questions, and make thoughtful decisions about the path toward driving.
