.@GovBillLee announcing tonight that @DIDD_TN and @TNAGING will combine to create the new Department of Disability and Aging. I am thankful the governor has trusted me with this huge responsibility, and I am excited to see what the future holds!
The establishment of the Department of Disability and Aging, which has long been a goal of TDC - coordinating services across departments, greater investment in resources for the aging community and a single home for disability/aging are all good things
I know that public schools are imperfect, and have failed more than a couple kids with disabilities, but we already have Individualized Education Accounts (IEA's) for kids with disabilities - what's to become of that program (which has a bigger voucher payout)? #tnsots
Gov Lee also highlights TN poverty rate v national poverty rate - TN disability poverty rate 28.3%, more than double the national rate
@tndisability has just announced dates for 2024 Disability Day on the Hill! Mark your calendars!!
Come join!
Our webinar "The End of SPED?" is TODAY at 12 pm CST AND 5:30 pm CST. It's not too late to register; just follow this link: tndisability.org/article/end-of…. We hope to see you there!
