TASP got a grant from the WITH Foundation.  The WITH Foundation promotes the establishment of comprehensive healthcare for adults with developmental disabilities that is designed to address their unique and fundamental needs.

The grant is to make Training Materials for Health Providers to Effectively Support Parents with Intellectual Disabilities. TASP is working with the Association of University Centers on Disabilities (AUCD) on this grant.

We want to hear from parents with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). We want to know what it is like for you to get healthcare. We also want to hear from healthcare professionals. Your thoughts and ideas will help us build training for healthcare professionals.
