“Recently, I reached out to Chris to see if he would be willing to assist me in facilitating client’s back to driving after serious motor vehicle accidents. I have been contracting Chris as part of a graduated exposure program for clients to improve their independence and comfort in driving activities. He has been an integral part of my client’s functional rehabilitation and they have been incredibly impressed with his supportive and patient approach. In addition, Chris is wonderful to deal with professionally; always courteous, responds promptly and provides invoices/reports in a timely manner. It has been a real pleasure working with Driving For Life and I envision a long, working relationship together in the future.Please Note: The views expressed are my own and do not necessarily reflect the views of my employer or professional body.”
