Session 1: Friday, September 26, 1:00 pm – 2:30 pm

This informative lecture introduces CarFit, a national educational program developed by AARP and the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA), designed to help drivers find the best β€œfit” with their personal vehicle. Participants will learn the importance of the 12 key adjustments for a proper fit, including correct seat and mirror positioning, steering wheel tilt, and seatbelt use. We will also discuss common challenges drivers face and simple solutions to improve visibility, control, and overall safety.
