About Williams Occupational Therapy

Williams Occupational Therapy is a specialist driving school in Mile End, South Australia, designed for learners and experienced drivers who are living with a disability, medical condition, or injury. Since 2011, this occupational therapy-led practice has been helping people across South Australia regain or build their confidence behind the wheel, offering adaptive driving lessons, driver rehabilitation, and one-on-one assessments matched to each person's needs. Brad, the practice's lead instructor, is consistently praised in feedback for his calm, professional approach. Parents whose teenagers have ADHD or learning challenges speak highly of his patience and sensitivity, with one mum noting that her son's driving skills improved beyond expectations under Brad's guidance. Another parent thanked Brad for handling their son's lessons and assessment with such care, saying the wait was worth it to have things done so professionally. Anxious learners consistently report feeling at ease from the first meeting. One client who had "so many anxieties going to a driver OT" said they were made to feel completely comfortable, and the guidance was spot-on. The team includes female instructors, Claire is named on the website, and feedback mentions Heather, Kat, Wendy, and Kelly, all praised for their expertise and warmth. Heather and Brad together helped one learner regain their licence after injury, and Kat earned special thanks for her support with wheelchair upgrades and mobility equipment. Williams Occupational Therapy also runs the Drive with Me program, supporting families affected by autism, and provides vehicle modification training, driving simulator sessions, and home-visit assessments. The Mile End clinic is fully accessible, with wheelchair-friendly parking, entrances, and toilets, and the practice is recognised as LGBTQ+ friendly and a safe space for transgender clients. Appointments are required. If you or your family member needs adaptive driving lessons in Adelaide, give them a ring. Brad and the team come highly recommended.
