Enhancing Agricultural Rehabilitation: The National AgrAbility Project Overview

The National AgrAbility Project, led by Douglas B. Carmon, aims to bridge the gap between rehabilitation professionals and farmers with disabilities. This initiative focuses on Occupational and Physical Therapy training, offering both face-to-face learning and online modules to healthcare providers and university students. Volunteer services play a crucial role in this program, providing resources for effective volunteer management and peer support training. By fostering collaboration among various organizations, AgrAbility enhances support for farmers and promotes the use of vital services across the farming community.
