From Understanding a Person's Needs to More Suitable Mobility and Driving

People's abilities and needs differ. The appropriate pathway starts with understanding the person, rather than offering a single solution to everyone.

A Professional System That Starts with the Person

AMKAN Mobility & Driving builds professional capability to understand a person's mobility and driving needs and connect that understanding with assessment, recommendations, training and an appropriate pathway through qualified professionals and centres.

It develops frameworks and competence requirements, organises qualification and scopes of practice, and supports the quality of professional outputs, records, traceability and learning.

The intended result is a more suitable and reliable mobility or driving pathway for each person.

The Right Decision Requires a Complete Understanding

A question about driving may also involve a person's abilities, training, mobility aids or adaptive equipment. The need guides the type of specialist assessment, and the professional assessment guides the next step.

Understand the need and activity
Choose the appropriate assessment
Interpret the findings
Form a professional opinion
Train or adapt when needed
Find a suitable pathway

Assessment identifies needs and next steps; training develops capability when it is the appropriate path.

From Professional Knowledge to Trusted Practice

AMKAN develops the framework for competence, qualification, practice, professional outputs, quality and records. Qualified professionals and centres turn that framework into actual practice within their respective responsibilities.

  1. Frameworks, standards and methods
  2. Competence and professional learning
  3. Qualification and scopes
  4. Qualified professionals and centres
  5. Appropriate assessment or training
  6. Documented opinion and recommendation
  7. Quality, records and traceability
  8. Learning and improvement

Clear roles make decisions easier to understand and professional outputs easier to trace.

Professional Paths Around Individual Needs

AMKAN Mobility & Driving

Develops methods, tools and competence requirements, organises qualification and supports the quality of outputs and learning.

Mobility or Driving Assessor

Understands functional needs, conducts the relevant assessment, interprets results and makes recommendations within their professional scope.

Adaptive Driving Trainer

Provides practical training or retraining, including the use of adaptive equipment, when that is the appropriate pathway.

Qualified Centre

Provides the environment, equipment, personnel and processes for assessments or training within its qualified scope.

Medical decisions remain with competent health authorities; driving licence decisions remain with the competent government authority.

From Assessment to the Appropriate Pathway

A qualified professional gathers evidence, interprets findings and records what was assessed and recommended within their scope. Records retain the case context and link the professional, centre, service, output and recommendation.

Mobility and Aid Assessment

Understand a person's mobility needs and whether an aid suits their functions and use.

Driving and Adaptation Assessment

Understand driving-related abilities and recommend a suitable pathway or adaptive equipment when needed.

Training or Retraining

Develop practical driving skills when assessment indicates that training is appropriate.

Professional Output and Record

Record who delivered the service, what was assessed, the findings, professional opinion and next step where relevant.

Trust depends on who issued an output, on what basis, within which scope, and how it can be traced.
