Our Vision
To support individual and community capacities for inclusion through a strengths-based approach. We affirm the right of people of all abilities to lead lives of dignity, choice, and access to their desired participation in society.

H2T program development reflects an interdisciplinary collaboration between UNC Department of Health Sciences, Carolina Institute for Developmental Disabilities, TEACCH Autism Program, UNC School of Education, and our community partner, Kidpower Teenpower Fullpower International.
