Show Directory & Program Guide | May 9, 2015 | Allen County War Memorial Coliseum
WELCOME
Welcome to the 6th annual disAbilities Expo! This day has been planned just for
you with more than 90 exhibitors to make this a one-stop resource for all types of
disability services and products. We hope that you find what you need, and even
more importantly, discover new resources to enhance your quality of life.
The Expo is also filled with fun and entertaining events, spectacular adaptive sports
exhibitions and special guests making a difference in the disability world. We
welcome special guests Mark Wellman and Brett Eastburn to this year’s Expo. For
the sports enthusiast, Paralympian and rock climber Mark Wellman will amaze you
with his climbing ability and invite you to make your own ascents using his adaptive
climbing equipment. Then laugh with comedian Brett Eastburn as he entertains and
truly inspires you.
As 2015 marks the 25th anniversary of the signing of the Americans with Disabilities
Act (ADA), we are mindful of how this landmark piece of legislation created
opportunities and rights for individuals with disabilities. But there is still more work
to do. While at the Expo, stop by the ADA Report Card booth to take a survey of how
well northeast Indiana is doing in making and creating an accessible community.
The survey results will be presented to the public in late July.
You are also invited to participate in a survey about Riverfront Fort Wayne, the exciting
riverfront development project now in the planning stages. City representatives
want to hear your thoughts and ideas about the proposed project, as well as what
accessibility to the riverfront means to you.
Helping you explore opportunities, expand possibilities and experience everything
is what the disAbilities Expo is all about. Spend a few hours or the entire day...we’re
glad you are here!

Special Guests
Mark Wellman, Paralympian
www.nolimitstahoe.com
Adventure athlete and motivational speaker, Mark Wellman, knows no limits. In 1982, a
freak mountain climbing accident left him paralyzed from the waist down, but he was
determined to climb back to the adventurous outdoor life he loved. And he did by making
two historic ascents of the El Capitan and Half Dome granite walls in Yosemite National
Park, competing in two Paralympics on the United States disabled Ski Team and becoming
the first paraplegic to sit-ski across the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range.
Mark returns to the Expo by popular demand with his rock wall and invites climbers of all
abilities to make their own ascents using his adaptive climbing equipment.
Mark Wellman lives in Northern California where he operates his business, No Limits.
Whether training for new wilderness adventures, or to break down barriers or from
college campuses to corporate boardrooms, he has become a nationally known influence
for the disabled and able-bodied alike. With his dynamic style and bold determination,
Mark continues to encourage his audiences to fulfill their dreams by reaching for higher
goals to success.
Brett Eastburn, Comedian

Eastburn, continues to demonstrate his ability to overcome any obstacle with

Believing you’re a success only if you choose to be and that you are handicapped only

At the Sports Center
Adaptive Sports Exhibitions
Turnstone’s adaptive sports and recreation program, recognized as a Silver Level Paralympic Sport Club, is the fourth largest
program in the country. Cheer on Turnstone teams as they demonstrate their athletic prowess and their winning ways.
Wheelchair Basketball
Enjoy the competition while watching the Turnstone wheelchair basketball teams
dribble and shoot with amazing accuracy! The Prep Division team is for 8-12 year olds
and the Varsity Division team is for 13-18 year olds with both teams known as the Flyers.
Turnstone’s Division III team, the Bandits, is for the 18+ year old group. Each team is
a member of the NWBA and play in tournaments across the country as they vie for a
national championship.
Each team has a rich history of success. The Bandits have won 3 conference championships
along with finishing 3rd in the nation four times and runner-up twice. The Varsity team
has won 5 conference championships, 4 regional championships and finished the last
14 seasons in the top 20 with their top ranking being 3rd. The Prep team has won 3
conference championships, finished 3rd at nationals twice along with achieving runnerup status. Don’t miss seeing this group of talented athletes!
Sitting Volleyball
Enjoy a demonstration game of sitting volleyball with Steve Doudt. Growing up in New
Haven, this Indiana native was a member of the U.S. Men’s Sitting Volleyball team for
seven years and is a 1996 Sitting Volleyball Paralympian. While playing volleyball, he also
enjoyed many great years playing wheelchair basketball for the Indiana Pacers/Racers. As
Steve winds down his athletic careers to enjoy retired life, he continues to be a basketball
official in the NWBA.
Wheelchair Fencing
En garde! Witness the art of using a foil, épée and saber in attack and defense by wheelchair
fencing champion Catherine Bouwkamp. A former able-bodied fencer who was nationally
ranked in the Y12 and Y10 age groups, Bouwkamp was born with fibular hemimelia – a
condition in which the muscles in her right leg never fully developed. Her experience as an
able-bodied fencer helped Catherine earn quick success on the international wheelchair
scene where she won National Championships in all three weapons as a 14-year-old in
2010 and defended all three golds in 2011, 2012, and 2013.
In 2011, Bouwkamp won gold in foil at the Wheelchair Pan American Championships
and qualified for the 2012 Paralympic Games as the youngest member of Team USA. She
placed 12th in the London Paralympic Games and vowed to be back for another set of
Paralympic Games and make it to the podium. In 2013, Bouwkamp earned a bronze medal
in her favored weapon, saber, at World Championships in Budapest, Hungary. Whether
new to fencing or an experienced sportsmen, you will enjoy Catherine’s display of fencing
skill and technique.
Wheelchair Curling
Known as “chess on ice”, the sport of curling was introduced to Fort Wayne in the 1880’s by
Scottish tradesmen hired to build the Bass Mansion, which is now owned by the University
of Saint Francis. The sport died out during the Great Depression but was reintroduced
to Fort Wayne in 2010 under very different circumstances. Founders Craig Fischer and
Jerri Mead were looking for an activity their entire family could do together and would
also appeal to their son, Grayson, who is autistic. It was while watching the 2006 Winter
Olympics that the idea of curling occurred to them. For several months the family drove
two hours (one way) to Bowling Green, Ohio, which had the closest curling facility. Curling
was a hit with the whole family, so much so that they decided to organize a not-for-profit
Curling Club.
Today the Fort Wayne Curling Club is considered the most dynamic club in the United
States, and is now aspiring to another accolade -- establish curling as a Special Olympics
sport. With the help of adaptive equipment, curlers with physical and/or intellectual
disabilities can easily play the game. Curling not only provides moderate physical activity,
it also develops concentration and self-esteem, along with socialization. Stop by the
Sports Center for a demonstration and try it yourself.
An Introduction to Medicaid Waivers
What are Medicaid Waivers?
•
Medicaid Waivers allow Medicaid to fund supports and services for children and adults with disabilities in their
family homes or communities instead of institutions.
•
Medicaid Waivers allow an individual to use traditional Medicaid services AND the additional services available
under a waiver.
What Medicaid Waivers are available in Indiana?
Developmental Disabilities Waivers
1. Family Supports Waiver (FS Waiver)
•
Provides home and community based supports for individuals who have intellectual or other developmental
disabilities, including autism.
2. Community Integration and Habilitation Waiver (CIH Waiver)
• Provides home and community based supports for individuals who have intellectual or other developmental
disabilities, including autism.
• The level of services available is based upon the individual’s level of need and living situation.
How do you qualify?
• You must meet Indiana’s Medicaid disability and financial eligibility requirements.
• Your family income and assets are NOT counted to determine eligibility for children under 18; however, assets
or income in the child’s name ARE counted. For those older than 18, only the individual’s income and assets
are counted.
• You must require the type of care that ordinarily would be provided in a Medicaid-funded facility, such as a
nursing home, large residential facility or group home.

“I want people to know that
even if you have a disability
you still have a future.”
Nathaniel Boutelle
When President George H. W. Bush signed the
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in 1990, he
said, “Let the shameful wall of exclusion finally come
tumbling down.” While there is still work to be done,
great progress has been made to remove barriers to
education, transportation, employment and other
aspects of daily life. Take for example Nathaniel
Boutelle, who has autism. With the support of
Passages, Inc. in Columbia City, he is able to live to his
full potential – working, volunteering and excelling
as a photographer and artist. Because of the ADA,
Nathaniel has the opportunity to be an asset to
his community, and for him, that’s a dream
come true.
See more of Nathaniel’s story at
awsfoundation.org/ADA25.
Proud to support the celebration of the
25th anniversary of the ADA.

As obstacles are overcome,
barriers lower for
the next generation.
Kammy Updegrove
Back when Kammy Updegrove was born in the
1960s, there were limited opportunities for
therapy and education for someone with
Down syndrome — and virtually no support
services. Through her parents’ dedication and
her own determination to learn and grow,
Kammy overcame those obstacles and
realized her full potential. As an adult, thanks
to Pathfinder Services and strides made by
the ADA, Kammy was able to achieve many
of her goals, including holding jobs, living
independently, traveling, and learning
sign language. More recently, facing
a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s, Kammy’s
family and friends have celebrated
her life and accomplishments
— and continue to cherish her
warmth and good humor.
See more of Kammy’s story at
awsfoundation.org/ADA25.
