Our differences are our superpowers
Thinking beyond the “dis” in disability.
Betsy Furler has pivoted her training as a speech pathologist into a career in tech, figuring out how to help make technology accessible for people with diverse abilities. She has seen time and again that the “dis” abilities people have are really the differences that help them stand above the rest. Betsy believes that our differences are our superpowers and will challenge us to adopt that attitude when thinking about others and ourselves.
Betsy lives in Houston, Texas and is the founder and CEO of For All Abilities. She is an expert in employee and student accommodations and a pioneer in the use of mobile apps for individuals with disabilities.
