The AgrAbility Grant through the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has been a resource to DVR and rural Delawareans engaged in the State’s agriculture labor sector. Although the AgrAbility Grant through USDA was not renewed for Delaware, resources exist with our partners at the University of Delaware, The Cooperative Extension Office, to provide expert advice to DVR and consumers engaged in agriculture employment in the State. Those services assist consumers in concert with contracted service providers of assistive technology to support and enhance employment outcomes.
