概要
Description:
Douglas M. Katz joins the VET S.O.S. Network to explore how innovation, entrepreneurship, and resilience intersect with disability and human potential.

In this episode, we explore:• How lived experience drives innovation and problem solving• The Ability Curve and redefining disability across a lifetime• ADHD as a creative force for entrepreneurs and innovators• Why human-centered design can empower independence
