NC-TASH realizes that there is a need for a strong advocacy organization for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in North Carolina to promote “equity, opportunity, and inclusion”. NC-TASH’s mission is to serve as an advocacy organization that will include professionals, parents and family members, persons with disabilities, and other North Carolina citizens who advocate for the rights of people with disabilities. NC-TASH aims to focus on improvements through legislation, policy development, education, information dissemination, and direct support. We will target improvements in four key areas:
- Family support
- Inclusive education
- Community living
- Supported and customized employment
