AgrAbility Project - North Carolina

• Assists farmers, ranchers, and other agricultural workers with disabilities by offering the following services:

• On-site assessments of the agricultural worksite or home to identify barriers to completing tasks.
• Recommendations for assistive technology (equipment/tools/devices), modifications that can make it easier to perform work, and/or other possible solution to overcoming disability-related limitations.
• Access to information on a variety of topics related to disability and agriculture.
• Provides education/training opportunities through workshops, conferences, seminars, and on-line programs.
• Referrals to other local services for potential assistance (financial, rehabilitative, education, etc.) specific to the clients' needs.
• Arranges for peer support opportunities that connect customers with others who have successfully accommodated their disabilities.

• Direct funding or equipment is not provided by the AgrAbility Project, instead the project works with state Vocational Rehabilitation departments and other funding sources.
