If your student has an IEP/504 plan, anxiety or a learning disability, please consider whether an Individualized Driving Plan (IDP) would be right for your student. See more info here: IDP video. If you already know your student will need an IDP you can purchase it below (select Teen Individual Driving Plan Package – all-inclusive – Consult included). If you are not sure you can purchase an IDP consult separately here to determine if your student needs an IDP: https://driving-school.com/teen-individual-driving-plan-consult/
