TASH/NE Board

Greetings TASH Members!
New England TASH is holding its Annual Conference on March 20, 2009.

CALL FOR PAPERS!

INCREDIBLE LIVES:  Opportunities for ALL

2009 Conference
College of the Holy Cross
Worcester, MA
March 20, 2009

TASH/New England is requesting proposals for workshop sessions and poster presentations that present strategies and/or innovations that support full inclusion in schools, workplaces, and communities.  Join your New England friends and colleagues in a day of learning, sharing, and celebration.

TASH members support practices that promote our resolution that all people, regardless of their label or perceived level of disability, should have the supports they need to direct the course of their own lives, and to live and participate successfully in neighborhood schools and the community. Proposals accepted will demonstrate innovation, collaboration, energy, daring, and all that is possible for people with disabilities and their families. Presentations are encouraged, when possible, to be made by a team that includes individuals with disabilities, family members, advocates, and professionals. We also encourage presentations that are culturally relevant or reflect a wide cultural and linguistic diversity. 

Proposals:

TASH New England is seeking 60 to 90 minute workshops or poster presentations in the following topic areas:

• Community Living
• Employment and Careers
• Education

For complete application and details on submitting by paper or email/online, Click here. 

For assistance, contact Dina Traniello, TASH/NE Secretary at 781-862-1480 (phone and fax) or dtraniello@verizon.net
