If you missed the other Abilities Expos this year, there’s still one more in 2011. It’s in San Jose, Calif. Nov. 18-20. This unique forum is devoted to wounded veterans, persons recovering from immobilizing accidents, seniors with age-related health concerns, children with disabilities, individuals with mobility and spinal issues, people who have vision and hearing impairments, people with developmental disabilities and caregivers and loved ones.
Exhibits feature cutting-edge technologies and services for cars, vans, conversions and accessories. It’s a great way to see a variety of conversion vans in one location. You can spend hours on the exhibit floor testing and comparing products and services from different companies.
It also features three days of top-notch products and services, informative workshops and family activities—and admission is free! With onsite discounts, many offerings are discounted exclusively for Abilities Expo attendees.
