Susie Touchinsky, of Adaptive Mobility Services, gave a very informative presentation on her experiences helping Seniors and folks with disabilities make decisions about their driving capabilities. Below is her contact info and a listing of Internet based resources for people needing alternatives when it comes to driving retirement. The presentation was recorded and will be available on the CQM YouTube channel.
Kudos also to Kendal residents Nell Kruger, Conrad Paulus, and Margarita Muinelo for giving us a great perspective on their living without the automobile!
