Presenters included OAP's Voc. Rehab liaison, urban ag specialists from OSU and Central State University (Ohio's 1890 land-grant institution), owners of businesses who employ individuals with disabilities, a 4-H Extension educator, and a Master Gardener volunteer. OAP staff also presented Ohio AgrAbility to OT students, ag safety students, gardeners, farmers and community members in April.
