2013 Adaptabilities/Disabilities Seminar and Dialogue Session

This summer, FACTSnet has begun a new network focused on increasing awareness about disabilities and how we can adapt to work from our strengths. Our summer student employees have worked hard to bring the Adaptabilities/Disabilities Network into existence and would like to introduce this network at the 2013 Adaptabilities/Disabilities Seminar and Dialogue Session.
