"Two years ago, I completed a six hour CEU course on driver rehabilitation. The course was great in focusing on the importance driver rehabilitation plays in the lives of elderly citizens and great delivery methods for training. While I haven't been able to put the education into direct use, my skills as an Occupational Therapist will serve great should I need to in this position."

Driver rehabilitation is specialized training that you may have as an Occupational Therapist. Tell the interviewer what experience you have recommending adaptive equipment and encouraging your patients to plan trips to drive only during daylight hours, on well-known routes, during off-peak hours. If you don't have direct experience, let the interviewer know and keep an open option to receiving additional training if the job requires it.

"I'm currently working with an elderly gentleman to help him keep mobile by continuing to drive. Recently we've worked out a plan to identify alternative transportation options to continue community participation because his eyesight and eye-hand coordination has gotten worse."
