Overview

Bacharach Institute for Rehabilitation held its first Ability Fair at Stockton University in 2015.

We had heard over and over from the members of the post-rehab community that they wished for a chance to meet with vendors of products that would make life better – from accessible vehicles to home modifications to assistive devices to adaptive kitchen utensils.

We knew there were big events showcasing such products in major cities.  Therapists who attended the shows came back great ideas, and talked about utensils and dishes for people weakened by stroke;  manual wheelchairs designed to row backward and preserve the critical shoulder joint;  and adaptive, stylish clothing.

Just because you are in a wheelchair doesn’t mean you don’t want attractive blue jeans.

So with good intentions and no budget, we decided to jump in and organize an Ability Fair for an underserved population in southern New Jersey.

Ability Fair Exhibitor Cost: $450

This is a table top show.  Your space includes 6 foot draped table and 2 chairs.  The room is carpeted. There are about 2 dozen electrical outlets and they will  be given on a first come, first serve basis. Table top displays are strongly encouraged. Space includes a half page ad in program book.  Specs are 3.75″ high x 5″ wide. Unfortunately, we cannot extend discounts to non-profits. Snacks will be provided in the AM during setup.
