The Association for Persons with Severe Handicaps

Mission statement:

TASH's focus is on those people with disabilities who: are most at risk for being excluded from the mainstream of society, are perceived by traditional service systems as being most challenging, are most likely to have their rights abridged, are most likely to be at risk for living, working, playing, and/or learning in segregated environments, are least likely to have the tools and opportunities necessary to advocate on their own behalf, historically have been labeled as having severe disabilities, and are most likely to need on-going, individualized supports in order to participate in inclusive communities and enjoy a quality of life similar to that available to all citizens.
