The Alaska AgrAbility Project staff participated in multiple outreach events in July.
The non-profit, Assistive Technology of Alaska (ATLA), delivered a program to the Older Person Action Group at a breakfast meeting in Anchorage. This meeting included various organizations and provided information about AgrAbility services and assistive technology (AT). ATLA also hosted a table and shared assistive technologies at the annual Disability Pride Celebration; this event drew more than 250 attendees
Art Nash and Debu Misra of AgrAbility provided outreach at the Deltana State Fair, held in a strongly agricultural community in interior Alaska. Their discussions with fair attendees resulted in two clients requesting support services. The Tanana Valley State Fair Extension booth also offered information about AgrAbility and adaptive gardening and farming.
