Crafted for Neurodivergent Learners
Differential Driving Training Program
Learning to drive can be overwhelming—especially for students with ADHD, autism, anxiety, or other cognitive differences. Traditional one-size-fits-all driver education doesn’t always meet their needs. That’s why we created the Differential Driving Program: a supportive, patient, and personalized approach that helps every student feel confident and safe behind the wheel.

Learning to drive can be overwhelming—especially for students with ADHD, autism, anxiety, or other cognitive differences. Traditional one-size-fits-all driver education doesn’t always meet their needs. That’s why we created the Differential Driving Program: a supportive, patient, and personalized approach that helps every student feel confident and safe behind the wheel.
At Maxwell Driving School, we believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to learn how to drive in a way that meets their individual needs. That’s why we’re excited to introduce our new driving program designed specifically for neurodivergent drivers!
We understand that traditional driver education doesn’t always accommodate the unique challenges that neurodivergent individuals experience. Our program is built to provide a supportive, patient, and customized learning experience to help every student feel confident and safe behind the wheel.
- Personalized Instruction – Lessons are tailored to each student’s learning style and pace.

- Smaller Class Sizes – More one-on-one attention for neurodivergent drivers.

At Maxwell Driving School, we believe every student deserves the chance to learn in a way that fits their needs. Our Differential Driving Program provides patient, customized instruction to ensure students develop not only safe driving habits, but also the confidence to navigate the road with independence.
At Maxwell Driving School, we believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to learn how to drive, regardless of financial barriers. That’s why we want to spread awareness about the Tennessee Department of Human Services Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) Program, which provides financial assistance for eligible individuals to help cover the cost of driving lessons.
The Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) Program is designed to assist individuals with disabilities in gaining independence and employment opportunities. Since having a driver’s license can be a crucial step toward achieving these goals, the program may provide financial assistance for driver education and training.
To be eligible for financial aid through the Tennessee VR Program, applicants typically must:
- Have a documented disability that creates challenges in securing or maintaining employment.
- Be actively working toward career goals with the help of VR services.
- Need a driver’s license as part of their employment or independence plan.
Contact Your Local VR Office – Reach out to the Tennessee Department of Human Services to see if you qualify for services.
Complete an Application – Work with a VR counselor to determine your eligibility and funding options.
Enroll in Our Driving School – If approved, VR may help cover the cost of our specialized driver training.
If you or a loved one may benefit from this program, we encourage you to explore your options and take the next step toward gaining independence through driving.
