Defining Disability
Disability is a broad and wide-ranging part of our lives. Some people are born with a disability; others acquire one or more during their lifetime — such as needing crutches for a broken leg or having a mental health crisis.
Our Communications Network is an active group of community members who share similar goals for disability inclusion, postsecondary success, educational attainment, and greater accessibility in higher education.
