Join TASH for a lively, interactive workshop for developing the vision and heart for state Employment First action plans.

Benefit from the insights and expertise of nationally recognized leaders and subject matter experts on Employment First, including Michael Callahan, Lisa Mills, Gail Fanjoy, Laura Nuss, Rebecca Salon and others!

Hear how people with the most complex disabilities and challenges are competitively employed; the person-centered thinking that is the catalyst; and the philosophical framework, policies and practices that make it possible. PLUS, learn about effective and practical problem-solving successes from many vantage points, including: 
• Medicaid and long-term care, including the impact of managed care
• Vocational rehabilitation
• Workforce development
• Special education, transition and post-secondary education
• Intermediary funding sources such as counties, managed care organizations, and regional organizations
• Families and self-advocates
• Service providers

The workshop will combine a mix of sharing cutting edge information and lively discussion among participants as we all think about the journey to achieving Employment First.  You’ll have the opportunity to consider:

• Does your vision align with your team’s shared values?
• Does your vision energize, direct and sustain you?
• Do you access to the practical knowledge and resources you need to achieve your vision?

Very few opportunities like this workshop are available!  Don’t miss your chance to be involved if you are in DC for the ODEP EFSLMP kick-off meeting on December 2nd or if you are coming to DC for the TASH national conference!
