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.
I experience a disability and it was a long way to get where I am at. It was a long way to get where I am at in my employment field. I went through a lot of struggles and heartaches through the system when it was supposed to be there to give me a hand. The system failed me. I went through college on my own with my own support and without financial support from anybody. I will explain how I got through my college life and how I obtained three degrees and how I obtained a job with the State of Alaska helping others with disabilities succeed in their life.
