Does This Sound Familiar?

You’re a parent of an Autistic, Anxious, or Neurodivergent teen or young adult with learning differences.


Maybe you know they could drive someday. Maybe they're curious or excited about it. Or maybe they aren't interested at all, but you want to know if they can become independent.
But the idea of getting behind the wheel - it’s a lot, for both of you.

You’ve heard things like:

“They’ll figure it out eventually”
“They’re just not ready yet”
“Driving isn’t for everyone…”

And maybe, after a while, you’ve started to wonder if those voices are right.

Or perhaps you have started the journey, but progress is different, confidence is crumbling, motivation dips, anxiety rises, and your child is ready to give up.

It can feel like you're doing this alone, without a proper roadmap that is designed for your young person.

What if you had a guide that embraced how your young driver learns best, one that honours their neurodivergence, supports emotional regulation, and builds real-world independence in a step-by-step way?


Not a quick fix. But a real, practical, empowering, coaching roadmap that meets your family at the stage where you are.

That’s what Drive With Me is all about.


A Coaching Program Designed for Families — Not Just Drivers

This isn’t a driving school. It’s a guided coaching journey for parents who want to support their autistic or neurodivergent teen to approach driving in a way that matches their strengths, needs, and unique learning style.

This isn’t just about passing a test — it’s about growing independence, emotional regulation, and confidence behind the wheel and beyond.

We break the process into three stages, each with three clear, practical pillars.

Think of it as your family’s GPS — designed to reduce overwhelm, honour your teen’s learning process, and rebuild clarity, calm and connection as you navigate this milestone together.

This is an educational coaching program, not clinical occupational therapy or professional medical advice. Internationally (including UK & US), this offering is not a regulated therapeutic OT unless delivered by a practitioner licensed in your jurisdiction


Here’s What You’ll Learn

Stage 1: Preparing to Learn

"Is my teen ready? And if not… What is the next step?"

Many parents are surprised by how much groundwork is involved before driving even begins — and that’s completely okay.

For neurodivergent teens, the preparation phase can often take 6 to 18 months. That’s not a delay — it’s a different, deeper kind of learning. One that includes building up executive functioning, sensory regulation, visual scanning, and emotional resilience, not just studying for a test.

Here’s what we explore in Stage 1:

🔹 Readiness — How to understand your teen’s unique signs of readiness (hint: it’s not about age or peer comparison)
🔹 Pre-Driving Skills — The essential abilities to develop before getting behind the wheel
🔹 Road Rule Knowledge — How to learn in a way that works for autistic and neurodivergent brains


📝 Research shows that autistic teens often approach driving on a different timeline — not because they’re less capable, but because the system isn’t always set up for them. With the right support, they don’t need to “wait until they’re ready”, we can meet them where they are and build that readiness together.


✅ Perfect for families saying, “We’re thinking about driving — but we’re not sure where to start.”


Learning Road Signs

Stage 2: Getting in the Car

"We’ve got the learner’s licence. Now what?"

This is where many families pause, and that’s completely normal. Emotions can run high. Confidence may waver.

But with the right tools, guidance, and a plan that works for your teen’s learning style, you can move forward with clarity and calm.


🔹 Driving Instructor 101
Advice on how you can brief and collaborate with your local driving instructor and how to choose a neuroaffirming instructor to create a supportive learning relationship
🔹 You, in the Passenger Seat — Learn how to stay grounded, guide without pressure, and navigate complex moments (like roundabouts) with confidence
🔹 Driving with Neurodivergence — Explore common neurodivergent driving challenges (like focus shifts, sensory processing, shutdowns, and sequencing) — and how to support them with understanding and flexibility


📹 Includes practical video-based coaching, downloadable scripts, planning tools, and the option for direct liaison with your driving instructor.


✅ Ideal for families who are mid-journey — where practice has begun but progress feels inconsistent, frustrating, or uncertain.

Stage 3: Driving Into Independence

They’re close to their individual licence… but are they ready for what comes next?

Getting a licence isn’t the finish line, it’s just one part of the journey toward adult responsibility, autonomy and independence. In stage three, we learn:

🔹 Test Readiness — Supporting your teen to stay grounded under pressure, bounce back from setbacks, and approach challenges with confidence
🔹 Life Skills with a Car — From fuel to servicing, we teach the practical skills of driving in a way that’s structured, accessible, and neurodivergent-friendly
🔹 Driving Into Adulthood — Explore safety, self-regulation, routine-building, and how driving connects to identity, independence and real-world responsibility


📝 Research shows autistic drivers often approach driving with greater caution — they’re less likely to receive speeding fines, but may face challenges in complex traffic scenarios like U-turns or right turns. With the right scaffolding, these challenges can be navigated with confidence.

✅ Ideal for families approaching the final stretch, looking to support a smoother transition into independent driving and adult life.


Too often, autistic drivers get their licence… then park the keys. Not because they’re not ready, but because they weren’t supported past the test.
This program helps your teen stay on the road and in control of their journey.

Have Questions? We Have Answers.

Who's this class for?

Drive With Me isn’t a quick fix — and that’s the point.
It’s a supportive journey built around consistency, collaboration, and celebrating progress at your teen’s pace.

This may not be the best fit if:
✘ You’re looking for someone else to take over entirely
✘ You’re hoping one or two sessions will “tick the box”
✘ You’re expecting linear, fast progress


But it is a great fit if:
✔ You’re committed to walking alongside your teen as they build skills in their own time
✔ You’re open to learning, reflecting, and adapting your approach
✔ You value long-term independence over just “getting through the test”


We support growth. We don’t rush it.
We collaborate with families to build confidence, regulation, and skills that last beyond the L plates.


This is for families who:
✔ Want a clear path, not guesswork
✔ Are ready to invest time, care, and trust into the journey
✔ Are done feeling isolated, overwhelmed, or unsure where to start


If that feels like you, we’d love to support you.

What's the time commitment?

Tier 1 – Drive With Me: Foundations
This isn’t just a self-paced video course; it’s a guided journey with monthly support.

Between monthly Q&A sessions, families work through the recommended videos and practice activities at their own pace. You can revisit the resources anytime, and fit them around your family’s schedule, whether that’s watching casually or building them into structured learning time.

Tier 2 – Drive With Me: VIP
VIP families receive everything in Tier 1 plus additional structure and tailored coaching. Alongside the tier 1 program, you’ll also have six extended 1:1 coaching sessions spread across the program. These sessions allow us to dive deeper into your teen’s specific challenges and build personalised strategies.

You’ll still enjoy full flexibility with the video modules, but the 1:1 component means more regular accountability, tailored support, and practical problem-solving. Families who choose this tier are ready to take focused steps forward with professional guidance at every stage.

This program is educational only. Any driving instruction or occupational therapy in your area must be performed by an appropriately licensed professional in your country or state.

Is my child guaranteed to drive?

While we'd love to be able to guarantee that every neurodivergent driver will be independent with driving, this is not the case for all drivers.

What we commit to is providing you with the tools, techniques, and support you need to give it every opportunity and build towards an independent life. 

This program is designed around Australian road rules and left-side driving, however, the education and coaching strategies for supporting neurodivergent teens in learning to drive are universal and easily transferable to other/local driving environments.

Please check your local driving rules, licensing laws and requirements. This program supports readiness but cannot substitute for local licensing/regulation requirements.

Cooling-Off Period
Customers in the UK and EU have a legal right to cancel their enrolment within 14 days of purchase. We have extended this to all international purchases. If you wish to cancel, please notify us within this period, and a full refund will be provided. By choosing to access program content immediately, you acknowledge that you waive your right to the 14-day cooling-off period once digital content has been fully accessed or downloaded.

Can you claim this through any funding?

This is a private educational program. Families usually self-fund.

We can provide general guidance on discussing goals with your local clinician or school/college supports. We don’t advise on insurance or government funding outside Australia.

Outside of Australia, this is considered non-healthcare or Occupational Therapy unless delivered by a locally registered practitioner.
Results vary, and there are no guaranteed outcomes.


All prices are listed in AUD (Australian Dollars) unless otherwise stated. For international customers outside Australia, GST is not charged. Local taxes (such as VAT in the UK/EU or sales tax in certain US states) may apply depending on your jurisdiction. Customers are responsible for any such taxes or duties. Please check local requirements before purchase.

About the Coach

Brad is the founder and CEO of Williams OT. He moved around a lot as a kid and didn’t grow up soon enough during school (maybe he still hasn’t). After ten years as a baker and pastry chef, he jumped into University/College and completed a bachelor’s degree in Occupational Therapy. Here, he was introduced to driving and has not looked back. After several years of working in a public hospital, he broke the shackles and started Williams OT in 2011. He developed an award-winning service that has the clients at the heart of everything. A proud family man, Brad is an Australian-based qualified and registered OT Driver Assessor and Rehab practitioner with additional qualifications in Heavy Vehicle and Motorbike assessments. Brad is also a qualified Motor Driving Instructor. Along with continuing to help clients and run Williams OT, Brad is a creator of the Drive-Able Podcast, a board member of the road safety initiative, The Get Home Safe Foundation, and he is an invited representative on the National OT Australia Driver Task Force. Although Brad is an Australian-registered occupational therapist and driving instructor, internationally, Drive With Me is delivered as an educational coaching program only, and not as healthcare, OT, or driving instruction.
