We discovered wheelchair accessories to make our lives easier!
“We were quite pleased with the turnout of vendors for people of all
disabilities. We especially like the new inventions brought in by guys who
know firsthand what is needed for those in a chair. It takes a person with a
disability to understand the meaning of ‘disability’.” Trish N., Houston
Abilities Expo
I saw my son walk hands-free for the first time with the help of a special
walker!
“He had the biggest smile from ear to ear. He lifted up his knee and as soon
as I saw that first step, I just started crying because I’d never seen that
before. He kept saying, ‘I’m doing it, Mommy, I’m doing it. I’m walking!
I’m strong!’” Desiree T., Los Angeles Abilities Expo
Everything I need is all in one place!
“Finally, a place where ALL the options can be presented, including options
that I haven’t even dreamed of! Even though the Internet has made the supply
and demand path shorter, it’s still hard to find just what you are looking
for online.” Reba D., New York Metro Abilities Expo
The highlights for my kids were the sporting events and other activities!
“They couldn’t get enough of it and we even had to visit the free wheelchair
maintenance booth to get things tightened up! We also made contact with an
adaptive sports program. The expo made my job as a parent of children with
disabilities a lot easier.” Heather B., Houston Abilities Expo
I made lasting connections with people from across the country.
“I think my favorite part is networking with people, as that’s how I can
continue being a resource for others. The more I know, the more I can help
others! Interacting with other professionals with different capabilities was
inspiring to me as well!” Angie P., Chicago Abilities Expo
I learned so much from the free workshops.
“I was able to attend a workshop for travel and will share with the MS Self
Help Group I attend and help facilitate. The workshop was great. It was hard
for me to take enough notes!” Gail W., Chicago Abilities Expo
I feel 20 years younger thanks to Abilities Expo.
“WOW! I never thought my arthritis would let me pick up a spoon again and I
found a whole set of cutlery designed for people like me. There were all
sorts of practical gadgets to make lives for seniors, like me, easier.”
Robert S., Atlanta Abilities Expo
