Summer is a great time for a road trip!  Driving is how we navigate our day-to-day lives and symbolizes freedom, independence, and adventure.  However, the physical and cognitive symptoms of MS can make driving difficult.  At some point, many with MS- and their families- will have to adjust their lifestyles and perspectives when driving is no longer a safe option. 
In this upcoming webinar, Dr. Ali Azin (Occupational Therapist) and Cecilia Capuzzi Simon (Psychology Feature Writer) will lead a solution-focused discussion covering:How MS can impair the complex skill sets required for safe driving[/q]
