Highlights Products & Services Workshops Events & ActivitiesHighlights
This exciting event is for everyone, regardless of ability! You just need one thing: the belief that there are NO LIMITS!
Watch how these clever canines open up the possibilities for their human partners. You’ll even get the chance to learn some basic commands for the dogs.
Don’t miss these dynamic, informative sessions on February 8-10. In addition to some great topics on the issue that matter to the community, there are two travel workshops, one on each day.
Do you know that there are a significant number of children with disabilities who live in nursing facilities? Filmmaker Narcel Reedus reveals stories of these children growing up without a childhood. Don’t miss the screening at the Expo!
Sports are fun, empowering, team building and, at Abilities Expo, adaptive! Come and join in the fun!
