Health Center to Showcase Assistive Technology and Adapted Sports at Resource Fair

September 19, 2026 - 03:19

The free event was born out of a desire to meet the needs of children with physical and intellectual disabilities and their families. Organizers say the resource fair will bring together therapists, equipment specialists, and community groups in one place so parents can find answers without navigating a maze of referrals.

Assistive technology on display will include communication devices, switch-accessible tools, and seating systems designed to help children take part in daily activities at home and at school. Staff will offer hands-on demonstrations and answer questions about funding and setup.

Adapted sports will also take center stage. Visitors can try wheelchair basketball, adaptive cycling, and modified versions of familiar games. Organizers note that these activities build strength, coordination, and confidence while giving kids a chance to compete and have fun with peers.

Families can also connect with support groups, respite care providers, and therapists who specialize in feeding, mobility, and speech. The event is open to the public, and no registration is required. Organizers encourage families to bring questions and to let children explore the equipment and sports stations at their own pace.
