THE EGG HUNT ON MARCH 24th IS CANCELLED @ Thornbury Park

THE EGG HUNT ON MARCH 24th IS CANCELLED @ Thornbury Park

Sadly, we have to make the unfortunate decision to cancel the upcoming Egg Hunt that was scheduled for this weekend 3/24. The cancellation is due to a low turnout which we suspect is from it landing on a holiday weekend, and with individuals having Special Olympics swimming. Next year, we will make sure to plan it further in advance and pick a weekend that more people would be able to attend.

Thank you for understanding, and we hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Penn State College of Medicine Disability Education – Children & Youth with Intellectual / Developmental Disabilities Registration. @ Zoom
Sep 29 @ 8:00 am – 10:00 am
Penn State College of Medicine Disability Education - Children & Youth with Intellectual / Developmental Disabilities Registration. @ Zoom
DATE: 12/5/2024 and 12/12/2024
TIME:  8-10am
WHERE: Zoom

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.
