THE WORLD OF POSSIBILITIES
DISABILITIES,
HEALTHY AGING &
INDEPENDENT LIVING EXPO
A Service of Caring Communities
Caring Communities is pleased to welcome you to our World of Possibilities
Expo, the most anticipated disabilities event of its kind in the region!
Caring Communities is delighted to bring you this very exciting disabilities,
caregiver event, a consumer exposition that is offered to the public in
Baltimore, MD. World of Possibilities Expo is dedicated to improving the lives
of children and adults with disabilities, all seniors, their families and caregivers, as well as health care and education professionals.
This Expo will provide an opportunity for attendees to explore a vast array
of products and services such as: assistive and adaptive technology, durable
medical equipment, computer software, senior services, mobility products,
living aids and more all conveniently displayed to see, touch, and compare
in a "one-stop shopping" experience. This will give individuals who do not
typically have easy access to comparison shopping a hands-on opportunity
to try devices and speak directly to equipment representatives about the
products and services. World of Possibilities will also offer informative
demonstrations, and representatives from local and statewide agencies/
organizations to assist the disabilities and senior communities in gaining
more information about supports, services and resources that they may
need now or in the future.
Caring Communities, Inc. is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization which offers
disability-related training, education, publications, and events for the benefit
of children and adults with disabilities, their families and caregivers, as well as

World of Possibilities
Message from Maryland’s Governor
It is my pleasure to congratulate Caring Communities and the 9th annual World
of Possibilities Expo. For over 12 years, Caring Communities has sought to address
the needs of so many individuals in our State, and for that we owe this
organization our gratitude. Caring Communities and the World of Possibilities
Expo connect so many of our neighbors to vital services and information. Thanks
to the efforts of so many caring parents, care providers and volunteers, over 400
people have been trained to provide essential respite care services to Maryland
families through the Caring Network.
As we work towards a better, stronger Maryland, we have tremendous progress
on which to build. We have taken action on important initiatives to empower our
neighbors and improve our quality of life.
Together, united in the dignity of every individual and in our responsibility to
advance the common good, we are building the One Maryland we hold in our
hearts. Working together with groups such as Caring Communities we can
continue that progress to make sure every one of us has the opportunity to make
a meaningful and positive difference in this world.
Thank you for your passion and perseverance.
