Thomas Cooney on TEDx Drogheda – Difability (Disability)

This talk shared the idea of creating Entrepreneurship / Self-Employment programs for People with Difability (Disability). While the rate of employment and wages for People with Difabilities remains shockingly low, very few customised programs exist for People with Difabilities to become Self-Employed. This talk explains how such a program could be developed.
