Each year, the TASH Conference strengthens the disability field by connecting attendees to innovative information and resources, facilitating connections between stakeholders within the disability movement, and helping attendees reignite their passion for an inclusive world. This year’s conference theme, “Gateway to Equity,” explores inclusive communities, schools, and workplaces that support people with disabilities, including those with complex support needs, in living a fair, just, and balanced life.

Tom Pruyn is an unreliably speaking autistic activist who was denied a meaningful education because his cognitive abilities were underestimated. I want to talk about how my mouth betrays me. You think that what I say is what I mean and often it is not. The letterboards allow me to slow down long enough to express my true thoughts. Th education system needs to know that words from my mouth are not the extent of my knowledge or desires.
