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.
