OUR STORY
Who we are and why AID voices exist
Founded on a single conviction — that every person with a disability deserves a community that sees them, hears them, and stands beside them.
Advocacy for Individuals with Disabilities was founded by Tyler Braxton Martin with a single conviction: that every person with a disability deserves a community that sees them, hears them, and stands beside them.
What began as a vision as a vision for change and education has grown into a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization working to make accessibility, education, advocacy, and inclusion a reality, not just a goal. AID is built on the belief that disability is not a limitation on what someone can contribute, experience, or lead.
Welcome to aidvoices.org, home for every voice that has ever been overlooked.
Tyler Braxton Martin
Founder & President
Tyler founded AID to create the kind of community he knew was missing. His vision extends across the country through AID's campus chapter program, the work reaches students and communities everywhere.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
Every voice counts
Including those that communicate differently.
Transparency matters
We are accountable to our community.
Inclusion is non-negotiable
There are no conditions on belonging here.
Community, not charity
AID is a place where people lead, not just receive.
AID is governed by a five-member Board of Directors. We maintain a formal conflict of interest policy consistent with IRS 501(c)(3) requirements, and every director completes an annual disclosure to ensure decisions are made in the best interests of the people we serve.
