MISSION - WHAT WE DO

We bring together organizations and individuals across the state who care about the Disability Community to work in coalition. Our collective mission is to create a society that values, includes and supports people with disabilities.

VISION - GOALS AND ASPIRATIONS

The central purpose of the Coalition is to advocate for public policies that promote equal opportunity and independent living for children and adults with disabilities. To do this, we collaborate with self-advocates, member organizations and government officials on innovative solutions to public policy concerns. We are a non-partisan organization.

SERVICES - HOW WE DO IT

The Tennessee Disability Coalition is an alliance of organizations and individuals joined to promote the full and equal participation of people with disabilities in all aspects of life. To support this mission, the Coalition offers the following programs: Public Policy Program advocates for good public policy for people with disabilities and their families. Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Network provides information, training and technical assistance on ADA compliance. Benefits to Work helps individuals with disabilities explore employment options. Family Voices of Tennessee provides information, training and assistance to families as they navigate service systems. Brain Links enriches the lives of Tennesseans with traumatic brain injury by training and empowering the professionals serving them. Discretionary Small Grants Program awards funds to projects and non-profit organizations in order to build capacity in the disability community.
