The Ocean State Center for Independent Living (OSCIL) will host a Lunch and Learn Workshop on Wednesday, April 19th from 12 to 2 p.m. at OSCIL’s Warwick location at 1944 Warwick Avenue, Warwick.

This month’s topic is: Adaptive Recreation in Rhode Island.

Scott Pellet of Bike-On, a worldwide industry leader in adaptive cycling and recreational mobility will discuss and demonstrate hand cycles, recumbent trikes, tandem trikes and a selection of personal transporters. They have some “really cool stuff” to show you and will share some funding opportunities as well.  

Also, Don Wright of Button Hole Golf will give a presentation about their adaptive golf course in Providence, which is one of the few completely accessible courses for persons with disabilities.

As part of OSCIL’s outreach and community education initiative, OSCIL offers these free “Lunch and Learn” workshops highlighting various solutions that can increase access in your home and community.

A Sign Language Interpreter and CART have been secured for this event. Please call 738-1013 if you plan to attend. Seating is Limited. Lunch (pizza) will be served.

United Way’s 211 Outreach RV will also be on site to answer questions about other resources and services available in Rhode Island.
