Regional AgrAbility Events are a great way to network with AgrAbility peers and other professionals that have a role in assisting our clients.

The Regional Event in Shipshewana will focus on working with individuals who are part of Old Order Cultures.  There will be a panel of farmers that will talk about their culture and give insights on how best to work within their culture.  We will also have presentations on building relationships, Assistive Technology that is appropriate, and experiences that AgrAbility staff have had with clients from those cultures.

The event will start at 12:30 pm on June 3rd and conclude at 4:00 pm on June 4th.  Tours of a farm and a business owned by individuals that are part of an Old Order Culture will be on Thursday afternoon.

Rooms have been blocked at the Farmstead Inn for June 3^rd and 4^th at a rate of $159/nt.  Please call them at 260-768-4595 and ask for the AgrAbility block or use this link:  Hotel Reservations by May 11th to make your reservation.
