In Finding Wheels the authors put into very practical terms the many strategies that those who will not drive and those who are potential low vision drivers can employ.

Families and professionals alike will discover that Finding Wheels informs them and provides an up-to-date definitive tool for supporting travelers who are finding their wheels.
