The TAIG Way

As TAIG nears its 25th Anniversary, it is with great pleasure that I recollect our modest beginnings in the East Oak Lane neighborhood in 1984. TAIG was a small group of people who helped 12 individuals with developmental disabilities live as independently as possible.

In twenty-five years, TAIG has celebrated many milestones and now enjoys the distinction as one of the largest providers of community living, home and day supports in the Philadelphia area. Our presence in the local neighborhoods has grown from a few apartments in 1984 to over 90 residences throughout the Philadelphia area. Throughout the years, TAIG purchased homes, and when the houses were not physically accessible, engaged contractors to renovate them to suit the residents’ needs. When TAIG could not find suitable housing for individuals, TAIG designed and constructed six fully-accessible houses in Philadelphia.

TAIG has grown from a few employees to 500+ dedicated, professional men and women who make a difference in the lives of over 300 people with disabilities. Our employees are guided by TAIG’s Very Important Principles in their quest to build on the strengths of individuals for their

own well-being and that of the community in which they live. TAIG could not have sustained the rapid growth and change over the past 25 years if it were not for the commitment our employees have for the people we serve and each other. Our fine reputation is well known in the industry, and we are proud that many second generation family members work at TAIG.

How our consumers live, work, learn and socialize can best be captured in a video starring, Jim Murray, former Philadelphia Eagles General Manager for the 1980 Super Bowl Champions, and Anthony Blackson, a long-time resident of TAIG. Jim Murray knows the hard work and courage it takes to have a winning team. He describes TAIG as “the Super Bowl for people in need and an all-star team.” For over 20 years, Anthony Blackson has been with TAIG, and he believes that “TAIG does not take the place of your family; it gives you an additional family.”

As we look to the future, we will continue to be focused on abilities, discovering new talents, and helping one another one step at a time. We are determined to meet the unique needs of our consumers and families with innovative ideas and solutions.
