2009 TASH Larry J. Brumond Supportive Relationship Award
• Mutually Supportive Relationship
• Fulfillment of Two Lives
• Inclusive Education Teacher of the Year
• Most Promising Inclusive School District
Purpose
This TASH award program was started in 2007 by Total Living Concept (TLC), a Washington agency supporting people with disabilities to live in homes of their choosing with whom they want, where they want and for as long as they want. This annual award honors two individuals who have maintained a mutually supportive relationship for at least five years and within which the dreams and aspirations of the support recipient are supported in that person’s chosen home and community. The net result when such a relationship is formed is the fulfillment of two lives: both learning and both teaching; both discovering better who they each are; and both understanding, more deeply, how critical relationships are to a satisfying and valued life. The award was first presented in 2007 to its namesake, Larry J. Brumond, and Thomas Ryan. Larry and Thomas knew each other for 21 years, 17 of which Larry was the primary support person in Thomas’s life.
What Does the Award Include?
All awardees will be recognized at the TASH 2009 Conference and Awards Ceremony in Pittsburgh, PA, November 18-21, 2009, in the conference program, on the TASH website, and at the closing general session. Awardees will receive a commemorative plaque and TASH will promote their accomplishments to the trade media and local press. Travel to the TASH conference and conference registration are the responsibility of the award recipient.
