National AgrAbility Project

CA Regional WorkshopThe Regional Workshop in Davis, CA, December 3-4 was a success. There were 30 attendees from 6 different states and a wide cross section of occupation types and organizations, such as VR, OT, AT, independent living, migrant health, Western Center for Ag Safety and Health, health and human services, and Farmer Veteran Coalition. The workshop focused on how occupational therapists, physical therapists, and other rehabilitation professionals can collaborate with AgrAbility, work with the issues of migrant farmworkers, and collaborate with other partners, such as DOR and the centers for agricultural health and safety. The second day featured a tour of a local migrant center, an organic farm that employs many migrant workers, and a demonstration of AT being developed at UC Davis.
