In 1990, Dr. Allen Dobbs Director of the Neurocognitive Research Unit within the Northern Alberta Regional Geriatric Program, and professor at the University of Alberta,was interested in pathologies associated with cognitive decline and the effect they had on the ability to accomplish daily tasks. When approached to research the methods of accurately assessing drivers with cognitive impairment he was surprised to find that no scientifically validated method was available. To address this lack of methodology and tools, Dr. Dobbs and his research team eagerly began the challenge of developing a scientifically validated research-based assessment.

• After eight years and 1200 participants in the original and subsequent field studies the DriveABLE Assessment was developed.
• At the conclusion of the research, the immeasurable value of this tool was apparent and physicians and licensing authorities had become reliant on it for making decisions about medical fitness-to drive.
• In response to those agencies becoming so reliant on the assessment, DriveABLE Assessment Centres Inc. was founded in 1998.
• The medical community and government agencies appreciate the significant impact this service provides for injury prevention and traffic safety programs.

Building on research experience and industry experience DriveABLE has evolved to become a leader in driver risk management solutions and fleet safety programs for the medical community, government licensing agencies, insurance companies, and fleet managers.
