Progress
TASH has promoted equity, opportunity and inclusion for more than 36 years.
Help us build a brighter future that supports the rights and needs of every individual.
Embracing Difference
Persons of diverse backgrounds with disabilities often face multiple barriers, including access to services and supports and discrimination in community, education and employment settings.

TASH sincerely thanks all of the supporters of the 2011 TASH Conference! Please take a moment and visit our sponsors.
Inclusion
Inclusive Education?
Nearly 44% of students in special education are receiving some or all of their instruction in a regular classroom.
What about the 2.5 million others who aren’t?
Opportunity
More than 65% of working-age adults with disabilities are unemployed.
Through customized and supported employment, we can create a workforce where all members are valued and make meaningful contributions.
