TASH Monthly Membership Rates

TASH Now Offers Monthly Memberships!

You now have the ability to become a member at a monthly membership rate. Once you’ve looked over the benefits and chosen your membership subscription level and created your account, when you proceed to pay for your membership, you have the option to choose a payment option: yearly or once a month on the first of the month.

Whether you subscribe monthly or annually, the benefits levels are the same. This page lists all the membership information at the monthly rate (you can see the same information at the annual rates here).

About TASH

TASH is a vibrant community of professionals and advocates committed to positive and lasting change in the lives of people with significant disabilities. TASH’s difference is that strong social justice values — equity, opportunity and inclusion — drive our work. Our membership is comprised of family members, self-advocates, academic professionals and students, teachers and school administrators, support providers and many others. Together, we promote evidence-based practices developed through research and advanced through training, publications, and advocacy.

Since 1975, TASH members have made remarkable contributions to change policy and professional practice, and as a result, people with significant disabilities are more likely to be included as contributing citizens in all aspects of community life. As a member-based organization, we rely on the contributions of a network of passionate individuals like you. If you are looking to make a difference, join TASH today.
