MISSION:

Through a collaboration between All Drive Training Academy and End2Begin, the A.D.A.P.T. Program combines TDLR-certified instruction with therapeutic support and accommodations that meet the unique learning styles and clinical needs of each student.

To become the statewide and national model for trauma-informed, ADA-compliant driver education that closes the accessibility gap for students with mental health diagnoses, developmental disabilities, communication challenges, or age-related impairments. A.D.A.P.T. envisions a future where every person, regardless of diagnosis, learning difference, or lived experience, has the opportunity to gain the freedom and responsibility of driving with confidence and emotional regulation.
