Arizona TASH

What is Arizona TASH?

We are a state chapter of TASH, which is an international grassroots leader in advancing inclusive communities through research, education, and advocacy. Founded in 1975, we are a volunteer-driven organization that advocates for human rights and inclusion for people with the most significant disabilities and support needs -- those most vulnerable to segregation, abuse, neglect, and institutionalization. The inclusive practices we promote and validate through research improve quality of life outcomes for all people.

We support inclusive practices in education through AZWINS. We sponsor trainings throughout the year to support educators and families. We believe that "Inclusion is a birthright, not a privilege." (Bea Russell)

Support the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities

The attached flyer talks about how you and other TASH members can help support the CRPD. Take a moment to view webinar on the CRPD (available free to members) and then contact your Senator in Congress to encourage him or her to vote in favor of the treaty. Then, tell others about the treaty.

2013 Arizona TASH Conference
