I contacted Driving to Independence in Tempe while looking for a driving school for my son, who has autism, and had a very negative experience. The woman who answered the phone was rude and unwilling to help. When I asked her to explain the process again, she refused and hung up on me. This lack of patience and professionalism is unacceptable, especially when working with individuals with special needs. I would not recommend this school. Read Less

I just did my drive off with Lea at United Access in Deer Valley on Wednesday morning and I feel like a bird with wings! After 8 years of not being able to drive and being completely reliant on others for rides to Doctor's appointments and groceries, it has been such a relief and exhilarating feeling of freedom and independence to now know I can take myself, when and where I want! I feel so independent and it has given me a great boost mentally, emotionally and psychologically! There is absolutely no down side to this, I just wish I had done it sooner! Driving to Independence was the best place to learn and from the minute I walked in they were amazing and so accommodating! I highly recommend if you are thinking about it, go for it! Make the call, get the referral, go to evaluation and start, it will be the best gift you give yourself! Read Less

Being that I have been an excellent driver for over half my life I was confused as how they might help me . the agency does way more than just teach driving , Jill helped me get a van that was going to function for me as easily as possible now and for later in life as my disability progressed. Jill gave me tons of tips to make driving better for me. they We're very professional, yet friendly, and quite knowledgeable about the handicapped vehicles at people with disabilities. I highly recommend Driving To Independence for new drivers and experienced drivers like myself! Read Less
