Snick – Loss of function in Alzheimer’s disease is a gradual process. Jobs decrease, restrictions increase. Sometimes there is limited visibility around the disease and the person with dementia assumes that driving is still fine. At some point, the question arises for the loved ones of the person with dementia: “Is it still safe to drive? Is it now a danger on the road or is driving still possible?”

Professor Dr. Wibo Breuer will speak on Tuesday 21 November at the Alzheimer’s CafĂ© in Sneek
Wiebo Brouwer is an expert in the field of testing and training fitness to drive in elderly people with memory and visual disorders and people with brain disorders. He works at the Expertise Center for Older Road Users in Groningen. He will talk about his research and experiences driving for people with dementia. We welcome participants and interested parties.

More information about the Experience Center can be found on the website www.oudereverkeersonderwerpen.nl.
