Abstract
The article provides an occupational perspective on the definition of driving and community mobility. It highlights the role of occupational therapy (OT) in interprofessional efforts to promote community mobility as an instrumental activity of daily living (IADL). It notes that OT practitioners have the knowledge and training to address health conditions, diseases, and aging-issues that can affect performance in driving and community mobility.
