About
More behind the vision of FSST Forward
FSST Forward is a movement committed to better accessibility, greater inclusion, and building communities where people with disabilities are truly supported.
About our founder
Amy Tisdale is a disability advocate, author, and community educator whose life changed at age 43 when a massive stroke left her permanently disabled. Experiencing firsthand the gaps in accessibility, support, and regional rehabilitation, Amy founded FSST Forward to create awareness, compassion, and meaningful change for people with disabilities.
Her mission is to ensure that no individual or family has to uproot their life to receive necessary care, and that every community becomes equipped to support dignity, access, and inclusion. Amy’s journey is one of faith, resilience, and purpose, and she is committed to helping others move forward with hope in every season.
