Abstract

The present manual is aiming at providing knowledge about persons with special needs (PSN) and to support driving instructors that educate PSN. In the introduction to the manual, the requirements demanded of a driving school facility and some general aspects of teaching are considered. In the following driver education exercises are presented. In those, references to Appendix 1 are inserted, in which specific aspects of the driver education with respect to PSN are discussed. This appendix also includes an introduction to the area of education and PSN. In addition, a section called "Disabilities and vehicle adaptation" is enclosed, in order to provide an orientation within the field of PSN and vehicle adaptation. In the last section a suggestion for a layout of logbook sheets for driver education is enclosed. (Author/publisher)
