Introducing SANDI — A New Way to Prepare for the Road
SANDI stands for Simulator for Advanced Neurodiverse Instruction. It is a research-based driving simulator that helps learners build skills and confidence in a safe, supportive space — before they ever face real-world traffic in Tampa and Hillsborough County.
