Did you know that Ausome Cutz offers free haircuts to boys with Autism? Ronald, the barber, is an absolute gem! Not only does he provide this amazing service, but he also does so with a smile and a relaxed vibe. He even cut my daughter’s hair with the same care and warmth—proof that kindness has no limits!

This small business is making a big impact by giving back to the community, and we want to support them! If you’re looking for a fantastic barber who understands and values inclusively, check out Ausome Cutz. Let’s show some love to businesses that truly care.

The Penn State College of Medicine is thrilled to be offering innovative disability-focused education to their students this winter focused on caring for children and young adults with intellectual/developmental disabilities (I/DD).

As part of this education, they need people to sign-up as “standardized patients.” The child or young adult with I/DD and 1 caregiver (parent or legal guardian) will both be compensated for their time.

All standardized patients (21 years old or YOUNGER) and their caregiver must participate in the mandatory 1 hour training session (via Zoom, multiple times offered TBD – late November/early December) and at least 1 educational class session.

Your participation will help the Penn State College of Medicine develop and evaluate this curriculum as a model for other US medical schools, and ultimately, help improve healthcare for people with disabilities.
