2018 TASH Conference

This presentation discusses how participants can leverage creative partnerships to increase systems change advocacy. Specifically, the presenters discuss how two University professors collaborated with four Parent Training and Information Centers (i.e., Massachusetts, Illinois, Tennessee, and New Hampshire) to educate and empower parents of children with disabilities to conduct systems change advocacy. Notably, the parents were from underserved (e.g., minority, low-income, and English as a second language) backgrounds. Thus, this abstract perfect aligns with the theme as this project was a creative representation of different stakeholders who connected in four different states to strengthen the disability field.
