A HUGE congratulations to Bruno!
We have worked with Bruno since early 2019 and help learn to drive around ASD and Anxiety disorders. OT sessions and specialized driving instructor lessons have helped him gain the confidence to take on traffic.
His determination, commitment, and perseverance have paid off.
I also need to do a shout-out to his driving instructor, Martin.
I cannot express how massive this is.
Bruno, you’re a superstar! ?

Driving with Extreme Light Sensitivity
Seizures, unexplained road rage and erratic driving behaviour.
That’s what driving was like for this lady with extreme light sensitivity. Bright flashing lights, glare, and repetitive shadows from trees would trigger all kinds of erratic driving responses and extreme danger.
These red tint and polarised lenses have dialled down the colours she sees. As she said,
“it helps me control my super power”
And now she drives without issue.
Amazing result.
A special shout out to the RSB for assisting
