Students with Disabilities Launch Careers in Science and Engineering

Article Abstract:

The AAAS Entry Point! program supplies summer internships and, once the students graduate, placement services are provided. The program is especially significant in light of the fact that some 75% of Americans with severe disabilities are unemployed.
