2019 TASH Conference has ended
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.

I am a doctoral student in the Faculty of Education at the University of British Columbia, studying under the supervision of Dr. Jennifer Katz and Dr. Janet Jamieson. My research interests focus on participation of students with significant disabilities in inclusive classrooms and collaboration between school-based team members.
I am also a certified occupational therapist and consult with schools and educational programs to facilitate meaningful participation of all students in inclusive learning environments. I previously worked as a consultant with the Provincial Inclusion Outreach Program, an outreach service of the Ministry of Education of BC that supports inclusion in general education for students with significant disabilities.
