A staff member attended the District 4 FFA Career Fair and talked with over 400 students about AgrAbility and how staff members are made up of engineers, gerontologists, occupational therapists, social workers, and those with farming backgrounds. She also chatted with them about how AgrAbility often uses welders and machinists to help recreate products for clients.
The Drake University occupational therapy student working this semester with Nebraska AgrAbility is completing a case-study learning module project covering common farm and ranch tasks and culture. This project will be used in an educational setting for occupational therapy healthcare students to learn more about safety, resources, and prevention of injury when engaging in agricultural work.
