Roadmaps and Rampways chronicles the stories of three dozen young people who have overcome disabilities to pursue interests and careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Each of the students was a participant in Entry Point!, a project of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) that places students with apparent or non-apparent disabilities in research and development internships in labs around the country. The book looks at the various aspects of success necessary to survive and thrive—from assistive technology and support services to perseverance and supportive families—and profiles students who have used those assets to pursue their career goals. The book also includes information about the ways disability, law, careers, and attitudes intersect.
