When the SAAQ requires a functional assessment of a driver's physical and mental fitness, an occupational therapist documents it on this six-page report. It covers medical history, vision, limbs and spine, perceptual and cognitive functions, communication and behaviour, then a road test. The SAAQ's FAQ explains that the assessment links office findings to on-road performance, showing whether driving is unsafe and why.
A member of the Ordre des ergothérapeutes du Québec completes all nine sections and signs; the person being examined signs an authorization for the SAAQ to discuss their medical information with the therapist.

The form states it is to be completed by a member of the Ordre des ergothérapeutes du Québec. The Order's website lets the public find occupational therapists in their region who perform functional driving assessments, and the SAAQ offers a bursary and mentorship program for therapists entering the field.
Both include a road test, but an SAAQ evaluator only observes whether driving meets traffic rules and safety standards. The occupational therapist first runs an in-office battery of physical and neurocognitive tests, then the road test, so the report can explain why driving is unsafe, not just whether it is.
According to the SAAQ's FAQ, a person who needs vehicle modifications because of a physical disability is referred to occupational therapy. After a failed re-assessment at a service centre with no retake available, an occupational therapy evaluation is the only remaining option, and the person may submit this report.
