Welcome to the Department of Disability and Aging, dedicated to serving Tennesseans with disabilities and older adults across the Volunteer State.
We’re grateful to @GovBillLee for his support as we embark on an exciting and incredible new mission.

[TN DDA @DDA_TN]

What an honor is was to witness the formation of this new department! We are so excited to hit the ground running as we serve both older adults and Tennesseans with disabilities!

[Gov. Bill Lee @GovBillLee]

Today, I signed a bill that will combine @DIDD_TN & @TNAging, creating the new Department of Disability & Aging.

Since day one, we’ve prioritized right-sizing government to effectively serve all Tennesseans, & today is an example of our work to deliver on that promise.

[TN DDA @DDA_TN]

Thank you so much for having our team out to visit! We love seeing the important work being done!

We are STILL celebrating after such a wonderful Disability Day on the Hill!

[Tennessee Disability Coalition @tndisability]

What an incredible Disability Day on the Hill! Thank you to everyone who showed up, showed out, and advocated for a better Tennessee for people with disabilities. We could not have done it without you and our amazing DDH Sponsors! #NothingWithoutUs

Numerous local and state agencies continue to search for 15 y/o Sebastian Rogers.

We’re asking residents in Sumner County, especially around Beech High School and Long Hollow Pike, to check any space on their property where he could seek shelter. #TNAMBERAlert

We have additional photos of Sebastian Rogers to share.

As people & companies have shifted Southeast, so has America’s economy. For the first time in history, just 6 states in the Southeast, including TN, are contributing more to America’s GDP than the entire Northeast.

TN has emerged as an economic powerhouse for the country.

[Gov. Bill Lee @GovBillLee]

As temperatures continue to drop, we encourage all Tennesseans to remain off of the roads.

If you must drive, use https://t.co/g08fq6dGUo & follow @myTDOT for key road safety updates.

[Tennessee Highway Patrol @TNHighwayPatrol]

Thank you to our friends @myTDOT for their work in clearing the snow and ice-covered roads. Tennessee experienced an above-average amount of snow in a short period of time. Here’s one of our partners from TDOT clearing US 41 South in Robertson County.

Crews worked overnight and are back at it this morning. Please stay off the roads if you can.

[Gov. Bill Lee @GovBillLee]

Many thanks to the @myTDOT team for working through the night to treat roads & assist stranded motorists across Tennessee.

Honored to meet these dedicated state employees during a quick lunch break to commend their unwavering service to Tennesseans.

2023 Expect Employment Report was presented to @GovBillLee today. The Employment First Task Force was created to address barriers and create solutions for people with disabilities. It’s working! @BradTurnerDIDD @rfaulkner9

[D-B Transition School-to-Work @DBHS_TSW]

Our TSW students had a great time visiting @etsu yesterday! An important step in planning your future is to know what post-secondary options exist. I think we may have some future Bucs amongst us!

1st @DIDD_TN employee or family Christmas ornament is here! My assistant Ashley’s daughter Teagan sent me a special made ornament for the commissioner’s tree. Looking forward to more ornaments from DIDD families arriving at the office.

Thanks Teagan! You did great!
