Due to some attendees’ chemical sensitivities, please refrain from wearing fragrance or scented products during the Conference.

Share Your Voice to Empower Other Self-Advocates at TASH!

The My ROAD project at the American Institutes for Research is talking with self-advocates at TASH about dignity of risk. Dignity of risk means you have the right to make your own choices. They are creating new tools to help self-advocates speak up and make choices about school, work, and their health. They need your help. They are making new videos, and they want to hear your stories. You can share what has helped you, what you have learned, and how you take charge of your own life. Everyone who takes part will get a gift card to say thank you. Click here to learn more about their project and how you can help. Have a question? Email Jenn Bumble and Chris Worth at MyROADproject@air.org.
