Disabled drivers

This week, I highlighted a man who is making a difference in the lives of people with disabilities in Oklahoma who want to drive. John McGivern runs a business dedicated to guiding disabled drivers through the process of getting their license. Not only does he teach those people how to drive, he takes them through the paperwork, and gets them ready for testing.

McGivern works hand in hand with the Oklahoma Department of Rehabilitative Services. You can find more information at http://www.okrehab.org/.
