Terry is joined by Kieran Williams, Project Manager for the Driver Mobility ADI Project, to explore one of the most significant pieces of research released this year for driving instructors, the newly published report examining the challenges, barriers, and opportunities within disability driving training.Over 605 ADIs took part in the survey behind this report, offering detailed insights into how instructors view specialist tuition, access to disability driving support, and the changing needs of learners. Terry and Kieran discuss the quality of the responses and what Driving Mobility plans to do with the findings over the next six months.Kieran shares some of the standout themes, including the growing consensus that working with neurodiverse learners is no longer a specialist corner of the industry, it’s already part of everyday ADI life. As he explains:<blockquote>“Many instructors feel that instruction with neurodiverse clients is now part of their everyday job.”</blockquote>They also dive into the tricky topic of language, what disability driving instructors should actually be called, why terms like “disability” and “specialist” can create confusion, and how the sector might move toward clearer, more supportive terminology.Whether an ADI, PDI, specialist instructor, or someone exploring inclusive driver training, listeners will get a practical overview of what the report uncovered, what’s coming next, and how they can contribute to the ongoing feedback and development process.A valuable conversation for anyone wanting to stay ahead of where the industry is heading, and what part they can play in it.<h3>Here are the details of the online feedback sessions.</h3>Your chance as to hear about the report, ask questions about the report, provide feedback about the findings, let us know if anything has been missed and come up with ideas on how the recommendations could be implemented. &nbsp;DatesMonday 24th November 6.30pm – 7.45pmThursday 27th November 6.30pm – 7.45pmFriday 28th November 3pm – 4.45pmTuesday 2nd December 6.30pm – 7.45pmSaturday 6th December 6.30pm – 7.45pmTo book please contact <a href="mailto:keiran@drivingmobility.org.uk" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">keiran@drivingmobility.org.uk</a><a href="https://www.drivingmobility.org.uk/feedback-portal-on-the-motability-foundation-funded-adi-research-project/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Read the report here</a>🔥 Get More Than Just Test Passes – Join the Premium MembershipIf you're a driving instructor who wants to teach better, earn more, and stand out from the crowd, the Premium membership is where it happens.
