Kathy Jo,
I've never made it to one, but wish I had when I was doing the direct AT
stuff. It looks like there are lots of new devices that get shown that
would be interesting. Could be frustrating too, though... Like being a
kid in a toy store without any money! ;-{) I've been to conferences with
large areas for vendor displays, and always saw stuff I'd love to have.
I did buy a wheelchair after I saw one at a conference once: Quickie's
first production one-arm drive model. It cut about 20 pounds from the
Everest-Jennings I had before, but still weighed more than the one my
Voc Rehab counselor and I designed and built. So, Linda's right; a lot
of the things can be adapted for less money.

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one
persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all
progress depends on the unreasonable man.

I think so because they have all sorts of things set up to try out so
you
can really decide what suits you. I went to the one on Long Beach. Thye
also have a pretty good catalog. I can't believe how expensive things
are
though. It seems some of them you might be able to adapt for cheaper but
lots of gret ideas and contacts.
