Tais Keyser

Dedicated human services and disability advocacy professional with more than 20 years of care coordination experience and over 10 years of family support, community outreach, and regulatory compliance experience. Extensive experience supporting individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families through person-centered planning, systems navigation, and interdisciplinary collaboration. In addition to my professional experience, my personal journey as a caregiver and advocate for a family member with developmental disabilities has provided valuable insight into the challenges families face and strengthened my commitment to promoting access, inclusion, and quality services.

Recognized leader with appointments to state and county disability advisory bodies and committed to improving outcomes for individuals and families.

I have more than 20 years of experience coordinating services, managing complex cases, and helping individuals and families navigate systems and access resources. My work has included care coordination, family support, regulatory compliance, and community outreach. In addition to my professional experience, I bring firsthand perspective as a caregiver and advocate for a family member with developmental disabilities.

I currently serve on the Georgia Council on Developmental Disabilities, the Fulton County Commission on Disability Affairs, and a DBHDD subcommittee, where I work to improve policies and supports for individuals with disabilities and their families.

Professional development includes Certified Peer Specialist training through DBHDD, GA LEND Leadership Education Program, Care Advocacy Training, Parent to Parent of Georgia training, NAMI Basics, CPR certification, and civic leadership programs through Fulton County and the City of Alpharetta. Ongoing involvement in state and county advisory bodies provides continued education in disability policy, person-centered planning, systems navigation, and family support services.
