Welcome

Welcome to FACT!  We are glad you connected with us! 

You might be the parent who has recently learned that your child experiences disability, working to get your arms around a new diagnosis; you might be the parent of someone preparing for adulthood, or, of course, anywhere in between.  We all share something in common in that we are raising a child who experiences disability.   Often, families feel isolated and as if they are on this journey all alone. FACT wants to make sure you know that you are not alone!  FACT is dedicated to empowering Oregon families experiencing disability.

We offer peer delivered family support, dedicated to having our programming be by families for families.  We promote connecting with other families- at trainings, events, support groups, list serves, blogs, etc.  Get to know one another!  You may very well be the resource another family is looking for and another family might very well be a resource to you!  Subscribe to the Connections E-news to receive our newsletter and announcements of upcoming events and like us on Facebook!  We are looking forward to connecting with you!
