TASH Resolutions 

The expression of TASH values, through our Resolutions and Position Statements, binds our ideals to realistic methods for achieving the short and long range goals necessary to support lives of quality and integrity for people with severe disabilities. Whether or not we share the same perception of TASH, continuing to reflect on our values can provide a firm basis for the work that lies ahead.
