HistoryADED began with an organizational meeting in Detroit, Michigan, on August 25 & 26, 1977. Thirty people, from ten states, representing professionals in the field of driver evaluation and training of persons with disabilities attended this meeting. The initial meeting determined the type of organizational structure, the official name, initial officers, standing committees and membership fees. The first official newsletter was also created. Since that date, ADED has continued to expand. Emphasis is placed on the yearly conference with its workshops, conference training programs and one of the largest exhibits of products for both the driver with a disability as well as for the professional working in this field.
