FACT Oregon
FACT Oregon empowers families and transforms how communities perceive disability. Our peer support, trainings, and resources equip and empower families, transform how they see disability, and help them have high expectations and dream big dreams for their children. We support families to navigate disability and special education, drawing on the lived experience of our team, many themselves parents of youth experiencing disability, and we call out the critically important role of parent/caregiver as a child’s number one fan and advocate.
