Maria Rangel

Bilingual Program Specialist
FACT Oregon


Maria is a mother of three wonderful children who have taught her to see life in three very different ways through their growth. One of Maria’s greatest passions is welcoming parents of individuals who experience a disability. One of Maria’s focuses is breaking accessibility barriers for her Spanish speaking community so that parents feel empowered and informed to support their sons and daughters. Her passion for this work developed when she first became a mother to her daughter who experiences Down syndrome, and it has led her to continue working in supporting the disability community for over 10 years.
