Tennessee Disability Pathfinder (“Pathfinder”) helps people with disabilities, their family members, educators, and other professionals find and access resources, support, and services available to meet their needs.

Information and Referrals: We connect individuals to appropriate community resources. Our diverse staff includes professionals, family members, and/or individuals with disabilities who have many years of experience working in the disability field. You can access these resources by contacting our office at 1-800-640-4636, searching our resource directory, and checking our community calendar.

Education and Training: We provide innovative training and presentations to inform people about Pathfinder, Improving Communication for Broader Engagement: Disability Etiquette & Plain Language, Supporting All Communities, and Accessing Resources.

Community Support: This initiative works to remove barriers that communities of various backgrounds and languages encounter when navigating disability resources by providing case management assistance and educational training presentations.
