Welcome
Washington PAVE is a parent directed organization that works with families,
individuals with disabilities, professionals and community members in all
walks of life and with all types of disabilities. Since 1979, PAVE has provided
information, training and support for over 1,000,000 individuals with disabilities,
parents and professionals. A unique and powerful combination of experience
and knowledge is at the heart of PAVE. Individuals with disabilities and
parents of individuals with disabilities who have a good understanding of
the many challenges of accessing services comprise the PAVE staff, Board
of Directors, and PAVE's active volunteer network. The approach is one of
collaboration between all involved parties. This personal touch, combined
with the comprehensive knowledge and information PAVE can provide, makes
this organization the premier resource in Washington that families can turn
to for training, information and support. PAVE's resources include
a free lending library of books and video tapes, a quarterly newsletter
(PAVE Pipeline), website, a toll-free telephone number, You Are the Expert
Conference, bi-lingual/bi-cultural staff, and free and low cost materials
in a variety of formats and languages. PAVE began with a small seed
grant that provided assistance for families in Pierce County, Washington.
PAVE currently has 10 different programs that cover a variety of areas and
resources. (For specific resources provided by each program - click on the
