The event is scheduled from 8 a.m. to 6
p.m. Oct. 5 and Oct. 6 at the Freedom Financial Services Expo Center,
3650 North Nevada Avenue, Colorado Springs, CO 80907, United States.
The Adapted Home Exhibit is
an event designed to educate the community on what accessible tools
exist to keep persons with disabilities independent in their homes and
communities. The home will showcase eight rooms filled with more than
1,000 tools that encourage and enable independent living.
“Everyone can benefit from
this exhibit-not just people with disabilities,” said Patricia Yeager,
CEO of The Independence Center. “We all know someone with a disability,
whether it’s a child, our best friend or a parent getting older. The
technology that will be presented in this amazing house will assist
people with functional limitations of all ages and their caretakers and
show them that they really can be more independent in their homes.”
The event will provide you
with an overview of how you may be able to use and incorporate these
products for every day living in your home. Some of the items include
lighted phone call signalers, talking alarm clocks, accessible showers,
garden equipment and kitchen. The items on display vary in cost and
level of technology. Many of the items in the home will be on sale in
the vendor fair. Accessible vehicles will be displayed.
