Find many of the staff at the AMS Vans family at the 2010 Abilities Expo in Atlanta, GA from Friday Oct 15th until Sunday Oct 18th.  Hosted at the Cobb Galleria Convention Center, the 2010 Atlanta Abilities Expo is the leading event for 54 million Americans families, healthcare professionals, veterans and caregivers.  With great products on display, informative workshops, and a variety of fun events, there is something for everyone.  Best of all admission is free!

All throughout the weekend we are offering specials of up to $2000 off select wheelchair vans. Let us assist you in your dream of going places with our low priced, award-winning van conversions.  See our side and rear entry models alongside our new long channel rear entry minivan.  The new long channel offers room for two wheelchair passengers along with 4 other seats and room to add more.  As always, all rear entry vans come with a free set of Q Straint retractable wheelchair straps ($350+ value).  These wheelchair straps are self retracting and provide a perfect fit every time, eliminating the tangled mess of ordinary wheelchair straps.

Looking for that perfect new accessory to make your life easier or maybe that perfect card to express your love?  Well if so then the Retail Pavilion will be your one stop shopping destination.  With everything ranging from intricate social apparel to emergency readiness kits there is plenty of fun and productive shopping to be had.

Entertainment will be diverse and feature such acts Hip Hop band 4 Wheel City, comedian BJ Davis, and performances by Full Radius Dance group.  There will also be a variety of sports to observe and partake in such as Wheelchair Football, Power Soccer and table tennis.  Children can be treated to having their faces skillfully decorated into fun and imaginative ways.  Does your child want to look like a member of the animal kingdom or maybe have the visage of a swashbuckling pirate? Whatever the case, if they can imagine it, then it can be painted.

Want a glimpse into the future of Assistive Technology?  Head over to the Assistive Technology Pavilion.  Here you will be treated to amazing new technological wonders such as a tongue powered wheelchair, small service robots, and much more.

So if you’re in the area and free for the weekend stop by for what will certainly be an awesome and uplifting event at the 2010 Atlanta Abilities Expo.  Hope to see you there!
