2016 TASH Conference

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.

I am a parent recently graduated with my Masters in Social Work. I have volunteered and worked in the social services field since 2007 when my youngest child who has disabilities entered kindergarten. As the St. Louis County Coordinator for the Recreation Council I have the opportunity to help support staff, families and self-advocates find the leisure & recreation opportunities that best fits their interests and needs.
