“It’s not just that we provide a forum that showcases essential technology to bridge the gap between ability and disability,” said David Korse, president and CEO of Abilities Expo. “The Expo is always new and exciting with a host of all-inclusive, adaptive activities.”
Everyone can test their skills with adaptive sports like sled hockey, rugby, boccia, tennis, ride-along racing, basketball and meet wheelchair motocross athlete Jerry Diaz. You can also get in the groove with Push Girl Auti Angel for some freestyle dance.
Don't forget our four-legged friends. Assistance dogs will be there to demonstrate how they help people get around better inside and outside the home.
“The Expo provides the community of people with disabilities access to life-enhancing products, education, resources and fun,” said Korse. “Most of all, it’s a celebration of what you can do, not what you can’t.”
There will also be a series of compelling workshops which address pressing disability issues will be offered free-of-charge to all attendees. Sessions will focus on travel, emergency preparedness, Autism and much more.
