2016 TASH Conference has ended
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.

Alabama TASH
President
Birmingham, AL
I live in Birmingham, Alabama.  My husband Steve and I have four children.  Our middle son Kyle, was born with a rare form of congenital hydrocephalus.  Kyle uses ACC and gestures to communicate and is also a power chair user.  Kyle is working towards CIE with his employment team at his unpaid internship with Ascension Healthcare.  Kyle joined Ascension when he was 15.  Kyle and I advocate for systems change in our state to help people with the most significant disabilities have access to CIE.  Currently, we are also working with a housing coalition that we put together to develop an affordable, inclusive and accessible housing community in Birmingham.  I would love to talk with other disability-forward visionaries that are working on predevelopment housing communities.   I work for PeopleFirst of Alabama as a project manager for our IDD  Community Waiver Program that was launched 10/1/2021.  PeopleFirst will be providing two services for this waiver - Peer Specialists and Family Navigators.   I am currently a cohort for the 2021-2022 class of Partners in PolicyMaking in Alabama.  
I am a member of Applied Self-Direction and participate on their advisory council.
I have attended three in-person TASH conferences and Kyle and I have presented at one.  This will be my second virtual!  We look forward to seeing familiar faces and meeting new friends!
