Caring Communities Inc. is pleased to announce that we will again be
hosting two of the largest and most anticipated disabilities events in the
region! The WORLD OF POSSIBILITIES Disabilities Expos will be held at the
1) Maryland State Fairgrounds May 20-22, 2005 in Timonium, MD and at
2) the Dulles Expo Center in Chantilly, VA November 4-6, 2005.
These consumer expositions, which are free to the public, are
dedicated to improving the lives of children and adults with disabilities,
their families and caregivers, as well as health care and education
professionals. WORLD OF POSSIBILITIES will allow an opportunity for an
anticipated 3-6,000 attendees to explore a vast array of products and
services such as: assistive and adaptive technology, durable medical
equipment, computer software, mobility products, living aids and more-all
conveniently displayed to see, touch, and compare in a "one-stop shopping"
experience. This will give individuals who do not typically have easy
access to comparison shopping, a hands-on opportunity to try devices and
speak directly to equipment representatives about the products and
services.
WORLD OF POSSIBILITIES will also offer informative workshops,
demonstrations, and representatives from local and state wide
agencies/organizations to assist the disability community in gaining more
information about supports, services and resources that they may need now or
in the future.
