Why We Can’t Stop Searching for a More Inclusive Tomorrow
“When you keep searching for ways to change your situation for the better, you stand a chance of finding them. When you stop searching, assuming they can’t be found, you guarantee they won’t.”
A Timely Vision for Inclusion
In today’s world—where challenges around inclusion feel both urgent and overwhelming—some might see the launch of an initiative like BTR TMRW as poorly timed.
But we see it differently.
Now is exactly the right time to launch an organization rooted in the belief that inclusion is not just a policy—it’s an expression of love, belonging, and possibility.
Building on Decades of Advocacy
For years, educators, researchers, and advocates have fought for inclusive post-secondary education for students with intellectual disabilities. They've worked in classrooms, statehouses, and communities across the country—celebrating wins, enduring setbacks, and forging progress.
At BTR TMRW Center for Advancement, we recognize the power of their contributions. Our mission is not to disrupt the progress already underway but to build on it—to unify, uplift, and add strength to this vital movement.
We believe in asking the right questions, listening with care, and collaborating with those who’ve long been in the trenches.
Our Vision and Mission
Our vision is clear:
We envision a world where the majority of students with intellectual disabilities are pursuing post-secondary education and developing meaningful career opportunities.
And our mission?
Our mission is to deliver personalized coaching that fosters personal growth, goal-oriented behavior, and self-advocacy, while building inclusive pathways for students with intellectual disabilities to thrive in education, employment, and beyond.
Why We Can’t Stop Searching
We believe in Angela Duckworth’s wisdom: when we keep searching, we stand a chance of finding solutions. And when we stop—out of frustration or fear—we guarantee stagnation.
BTR TMRW is about momentum. Hope. And the relentless pursuit of progress.
