Agricultural Assistive Technology Training (NIDRR Grant) A grant from the US department of Education’s National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR) provided funding for the Agricultural Assistive Technology Training project. The goal of this project is to increase the vocational rehabilitation (VR) specialist’s competency and preparedness to assist farmers with disabilities and to continue to farm after a disabling accident or illness. This three-year effort is to train state vocational rehabilitation agencies across the country to improve employment outcomes for farmers and agriculture workers with disabilities. The purpose of this session is to inform state AgrAbility programs about progress of the project as we reach the end of the grant and review results of training outcomes.
