Training and Devices: It depends on what type of cerebral palsy you have. If you have hemiplegia then there are devices which can be added to your vehicle to make it easier to drive and even to change how the pedals work on the floor of the car. If both sides of your body are involved, there are also devices that can help you. It is important to find a rehab center which can help with training and getting the devices.

See below: There are many adaptive devices for people with CP who want and need to drive. These include: left footed accelerators, hand controls for brake and gas, steering wheel adaptors that only require one hand and more. The best person to see for this is a physiatrist who can then assess you and make recommendations specifically designed for your needs.
