@katec I think hand controls to drive would be best for him. I have a terrible time as well with car pedals and my Neuropathy. I have a small Honda Civic. I think it is the pressure of putting feet down on the pedal, not the size of the pedal itself. I am so sorry, momma, that your child is going through this. I can't imagine. Bad enough to get Neuropathy when old, like I am. My heart goes out to you, LoriRenee1

Thank you so much for your kind words, Lori! I’m going to start investigating more and see what the process is and probably look at a more long term car for him if we are investing into something like that. He hates to be different and look different from his friends, but I’ve seen some systems that don’t look “handicapped” so I’m hoping he’d be open to something like that because I know only having a learners permit is bothering him, when all his friends have their actual licenses. It’s not easy in SO many ways being 16 with SFN, but we will make the best of it and plow forward. We are always looking for ways to make him more comfortable and will hopefully find some solutions eventually!! Have a great night! Kate
