Description:
In 1975, the American Association for the Advancement of
Science (AAAS) initiated the Project on Science, Technology, and Disability to improve entry and advancement in science, math, and engineering for people with disabilities. Students with disabilities and their families, professors, teachers, and counselors are linked
with scientists, mathematicians, and engineers who also have
disabilities and who can share their coping strategies in technical fields. Through its program EntryPoint!, the project recruits college students with disabilities who are majoring in science, engineering, mathematics, computer science, and some business fields for summer opportunities at large corporations, federal agencies, and university science laboratories.
