Services |
Information and Referral
AgrAbility provides information about farming or ranching with a disability and how to prevent further injuries and disabling conditions. It also offers referral information on services available for farmers, ranchers, and farmworkers, in agriculture, rehabilitation, and their communities.
On-Site Assessment
AgrAbility conducts on-site home or agricultural worksite assessments and recommends ways to continue farming or ranching. Recommendations can include how to:
- Restructure work tasks or agricultural operations;
- Explore alternative agricultural enterprises;
- Modify farm equipment and tools; and
- Acquire assistive technology (pdf) related to agriculture.
The AgrAbility Project does not purchase equipment or pay for modifications for clients, but information regarding possible funding sources can be provided.
Peer-to-Peer Network
AgrAbility connects farmers and ranchers with disabilities to others who have coped with the same challenges through a peer-to-peer network. Individuals willing to share their experiences and the knowledge they have gained can be a valuable resource for others.
Training and Education
AgrAbility provides training and education about farming and ranching with a disability for rehabilitation and healthcare professionals. Articles, papers, workshops, seminars, and distance education are used to help these professionals better serve clients who work in production agriculture.
