During September, Assistive Technology of Alaska (ATLA) staff presented to hospitals in Anchorage and Fairbanks, discussing assistive technology options for independence at work and in the community. Occupational and physical therapists were excited by the prospect of AgrAbility helping Alaskans stay in their agricultural careers. The last week of September was Deaf Awareness Week (DAW), and in partnership with the Assistive Technology of Alaska, AgrAbility had an exhibitor table at Accessibility Awareness Day. Exhibiting at a DAW event helped to reach a new community in the Anchorage area.
