Staff Check-In
Chris Perdziola, Resource and Support Specialist
Chris has been super busy with calls from people in Pennsylvania, and other states as well. Families who are relocating are looking at PA as a leader in supports and services for people with disabilities. She is connecting them with the resources they need to help make moving from one state to another as seamless as possible.
We still have a long way to go in advocating for improved access to dentists, doctors, therapists, respite, and programs, with your help, we can identify gaps in services and advocate to fill the void.
Kelle Abram, MS., Crisis and Support Case Manager
Kelle has been busy with crisis calls, and with managing a support group for families of autistic people who are incarcerated.
From a parent:
“Thank you for this group. It’s a lifesaver. I don’t sleep, I don’t eat, I do drink! I have a therapist and I’m on meds... nothing really helps but talking with this group is the only place I feel understood.”
