Time for driver training!
If it’s Spring, then it must be time for driver training!
Many Departments of Motor Vehicles are poorly equipped to meet the needs of the neurodiverse community and it may not be obvious how to access an audio version of the drivers manual (our state manual is 180 pages long!)
AUDIO DRIVING MANUAL
Access an Audio version for your state at Driving-tests.org. If you Google search your state and the preceding link, you can find their 2022 audio manual. For example, here is California’s.
DOWNLOAD THE DRIVING MANUAL IN PDF, THEN USE TEXT-TO-SPEECH
An alternative is to download your state driving manual in pdf format, then use free Adobe Acrobat’s Read Outloud or a paid text-to-speech program like Voice Dream to read it to you.
You can also use Natural Readers Online for free.
You can also choose to download an MP3 and listen while you jog or work out.
MacOS can convert text to an mp3 using iTunes.
Happy driving!
