Indiana AgrAbility and the National AgrAbility Project staffed an exhibit at the 2021 Farm Progress Show in the Health and Safety Tent. The Illinois AgrAbility Unlimited Project was the host and organizer of the tent exhibits. The AgrAbility exhibit included Life Essentials and the Gearing Up for Safety Project. The exhibit presented AgrAbility publications and case studies, assistive technology for the farm and ranch, a John Deere tractor with a Life Essentials lift, and contact information for each of the 21 AgrAbility state and regional projects and affiliate projects.
Steve Swain, Indiana AgrAbility rural rehabilitation specialist, presented "Practical AT User Assessments" to the students in the graduate level course Assistive Technology Practice. The presentation was based on the 2021 edition of "Conducting Worksite Assessments." It presented the tool and the practical application of the tool and possible solutions from the Toolbox Assistive Technology Database. The presentation concluded with before and after examples of farm and ranch modifications for many disabilities and environments.
