Agricultural Opportunities for Individuals with Developmental Disabilities Because of an increasing population of adults with developmental disabilities, communities are looking towards agricultural settings as a viable work environment. Ohio AgrAbility is working with several agricultural work programs in Ohio, who serve individuals with a wide range of functional capacity. The knowledge and background AgrAbility has with assisting farmers with disabilities can be a vital resource to agricultural programs wanting to provide a safe and productive work environment for individuals with developmental disabilities. This session will focus on current agricultural program models for developmental disabilities, AgrAbility recommendations based on specific challenges being faced, utilization of training models, and creating a peer network for these agricultural programs to share information.
