Visitors to the Expo will get a chance to check out the BraunAbility Ford Explorer MXV and other state-of-the-art adaptive equipment for free. 

Expo guests will also get a special first look at Helen Hayes Hospital’s new single-driver golf carts, which allow golfers with disabilities to play from an assisted standing position. 

The hospital’s custom-designed Adaptive Driving Evaluation Van—used for driver evaluation and training with adapted driving devices—will also be on-site, along with adapted kayaks, water skis, hand-cyles, rowing machines and more for visitors who would like to explore new sports and recreation options.
