Each year, the TASH Conference brings together our constituents to share resources and success stories, learn about field-driven best practices, and network within a community engaged in shared values. The Conference is attended by passionate leaders, experts, and advocates from every corner of the disability community. Conference attendees are influential in their fields and communities, and play an important role in the provision of services and supports for the millions of individuals and organizations around the world; and include professors and researchers from leading institutions; those involved in local, state, and federal governments and public policy; special and general educators, and school administrators; self-advocates, adult service providers; students, family members, and many others. This year’s conference theme, Building Diverse and Inclusive Communities, reminds us that equity, opportunity, and inclusion relies on the input of broad perspectives and experiences.
The presenters will provide strategies for determining meaningful intellectual goals for children and youth who have extensive intellectual, multiple, and social support needs within the core curriculum. Presenters will also provide participants with an understanding of how to embed additional goals within the activities of the general education core curriculum. A wide range of examples will be shared across English language arts, science, and social studies. Participants will also gain strategies for developing participation and support plans throuh collaboration between special education and general education partners.
