Testimonials
Jeff Ewing
SANDI has been a game-changer for Learn to Drive AZ. It’s allowed us to better serve our ASD drivers while reaching even more in the community. Beyond improved training, we’ve created new income opportunities—like pre-driver education and post-license coaching—by seamlessly integrating SANDI into our existing packages.
The first time I sat in SANDI, I knew it was unlike anything we’d used before. The realism, sensory-friendly design, and adaptive features blew me away. Compared to our old tools, SANDI felt like a true bridge—meeting our drivers’ needs while transforming how we teach.
