The Indiana AgrAbility Project/Breaking New Ground Outreach Program recently conducted trainings at three of the twenty-five Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) Services regional offices.  The sessions include information on the history of BNG and AgrAbility, services offered to VR, other services offered to the public, and examples of assistive technology used by farmers and ranchers with disabilities. Future VR training sessions are scheduled for almost all the Indiana VR regional offices.
