Maine

Maine AgrAbility exhibited at the three-day Fishermen's Forum in Rockland, Maine. Despite the nasty weather, there was a good turnout of commercial fishermen, learning about universal design of workspaces on a fishing vessel. The exhibit displayed hands-on discussion points to share information and ideas. https://photos.app.goo.gl/qpeVQ1NrqqNAhRmi1

Maine AgrAbility was mentioned during an hour-long radio show about occupational therapy and its role to support people regaining their independence. One of the guests was Kathy Adams, OTR/L, ATP, and director at Maine CITE Coordinating Center, and one of Maine AgrAbility's advisory council members. Kathy will be presenting "State AT Programs and Funding Options for AT" at the NTW this year. http://mainepublic.org/post/occupational-therapy


Richard Brzozowski and Lani Carlson worked with a videographer at Chapter 3 Farm in Newburgh, Maine, last fall, to document a variety of assistive technology and its uses on the farm. The series of videos are available to view and share. https://extension.umaine.edu/agrability/assistive-technology/
