Learning to drive is an important step towards independence, and having a disability shouldn’t stop you from getting on the road. At Acorn SOM, we proudly support learners with physical or learning difficulties by offering patient, personalised driving lessons tailored to your needs. Our goal is to help every student build confidence and become a safe, skilled driver.
Our instructors are fully qualified and experienced in working with disabled learners. They provide a calm, supportive environment and adjust lessons based on your ability and comfort level. Whether you need extra time, specific teaching methods, or adapted vehicles, we’ll create a lesson plan to suit you.
For students with mobility challenges, we offer cars fitted with specialist equipment, such as:
Hand controls for accelerator and brake
Steering aids
Left-foot accelerators
Automatic cars for easier control
This ensures every learner can feel safe and confident behind the wheel.
Our lessons are flexible, meaning you can learn as slowly or as quickly as you feel comfortable. Whether you prefer weekly sessions or a more focused plan, our instructors will support you every step of the way.
If you’re interested in intensive learning, we also provide fast-track options like our driving crash course Preston for students who prefer to learn over a shorter period.
We offer disabled driving lessons in Preston, Blackburn, Darwen, Accrington, and surrounding areas. Our instructors will pick you up from your home, workplace, or college and deliver lessons in calm, familiar local roads before building up to busier routes when you’re ready.
At Acorn SOM, we believe everyone deserves the chance to drive. If you’re looking for a supportive, friendly, and professional driving school for disabled learners, we’re here to help. Get in touch today to discuss your needs, and we’ll arrange a lesson plan that works for you.
