What is the Parent-Teen Training Guide?

It's a comprehensive at-home driving curriculum that turns you into a skilled driving coach for your teen. Gain confidence that you're instilling the right habits and not passing on any quirks or outdated techniques.

  • 33 Structured Lessons: Covers everything from basic controls and turning, to highway merging and parallel parking. Each lesson includes specific driving activities and tips. It's like having a professional lesson plan for every practice drive.
  • No More Uncertainty: Not sure what to teach or how to correct mistakes? Our guide spells out exactly what to do, what to say, and what to look for during each lesson.
  • Proven Safe Driving Habits: Developed using the same techniques professional instructors rely on, the guide emphasizes defensive driving and hazard awareness to build your teen's safety mindset.
  • Interactive & Engaging: Teens stay more engaged, and you have fun "coaching sessions" together rather than stressful drives.
  • Recommended by Instructors: We've seen firsthand how students who use this guide show up better prepared and more confident. That's why we recommend it to every parent.

1-Hour Neurodivergent Driver Readiness Assessment This one-hour personalized assessment is designed to evaluate the unique learning needs, strengths, and potential accommodations required for neurodivergent students preparing to attend driver education. Conducted in a supportive and sensory-aware environment, the session includes a discussion of driving goals, a review of motor coordination, communication style, and attention-related skills, and helps determine readiness for driving.
