Steve Swain, rural rehabilitation specialist with the Indiana AgrAbility Project, has been invited to be a part of the Indiana Vocational Rehabilitation Services Home Modification Workgroup. The first meeting of the workgroup was on May 5, 2016, and included VR regional and area supervisors, home modification contractors, and home modification assessors. The workgroup will examine forms and procedures for VR counselors and assessors to facilitate the process of home modifications for all involved, and especially for the consumer.

Chuck Baldwin attended the disABILITIES Expo in Ft. Wayne, IN, May 21. The event gave Chuck the opportunity to share AgrAbility information with a number of people, to collect exhibitor information from several potential partners, and to hear and speak with the keynote speaker, Stephanie Decker, whose legs had to be amputated above the knees after she shielded her children from tornado debris http://www.stephaniedecker .com/about.
