I grew up in Lancaster, PA, so it was a meaningful visit for me this week to The Arc Lancaster Lebanon.
This Arc offers a variety of fantastic programs to support its community:
* Child, Educational, and Adult advocacy
* Family support- utilizing LifeCourse tools and resources
* The Arc Academy- an advocate empowerment group with skill development in a classroom small group setting
* Sib Talk- games, activities, peer support, and group discussions for siblings of children with disabilities
* Community education- trainings and webinars with community partners
* Diverse Abilities Training (DAT) for schools- grade-specific presentations to help educate students about disabilities
* IM4Q (Independent Monitoring for Quality)- interviews of individuals receiving services
Thank you, Abby Morris, Amy Austin, Amy Fisher, and Dana Henry, for your leadership and advocacy and for hosting me for the visit! I look forward to our continued collaboration!
