Each year, the TASH Conference brings together a diverse community of stakeholders who gain information, learn about resources, and connect with others across the country to strengthen the disability field. This year’s conference theme, “Be Creative - Innovative Solutions for an Inclusive Life,” reminds us to think outside the box during times of uncertainty. Creativity, innovation, and determination can pave the way for meaningful and inclusive lives for people with disabilities.
When I was younger mother took me to a different doctor, not the normal doctor but a Specialist, and he taught me a new phrase in my vocabulary. YOU CAN’T… YOU CAN’T DO THIS…. YOU CANT DO THAT ….He told me, YOU CANT DO THAT all because someone without a Disability already pre planned my life. well ever since that day I have been Determined to prove him Wrong! Come Learn and listen to me on how I took all of those YOU CANT's and Turned them into I CAN!! through Self Advocacy, Creativity, Determination and Dedicated support of my community To become Inclusive.
