Invitation from member Sara Jane Wolff to a Parent Get Together.

DATE: November 17, 2023
TIME: Starts at 7 pm
WHERE: GET Café / 246 Haverford Ave, Narberth, PA 19072

“There will be a parent get together November 17th at the GET Café at 7pm! Generally, we bring snacks/drinks to share–whatever you like.

Please let us know if you plan to come. It’s been a while, so it will be great to see as many folks as possible and catch up, and also to meet some new members. Please tell friends who may not be on Facebook.

It has been so nice to meet up with parents on this particular journey in the past; a great way to resource share and chat about issues that can be particular to our kiddos with a dual Down syndrome/ASD diagnosis (and a good excuse to have a glass of wine and vent)! 😉

GET Café is located at 246 Haverford Avenue, Narberth, PA 19072.

Feel free rsvp on this post, Facebook message me, email or text.

Nov 30 @ 9:30 am – 4:30 pm
#NextGenInclusion Toward Increasing Inclusion in Schools @ Hilton Harrisburg

The PEAL Center is offering this incredible in-person event to rally a new generation of parents, self-advocates and their allies to push for more inclusive schools. Even though PA was the first state to ensure students with intellectual disabilities could attend public schools, today we rank 44th out of 50 states when it comes to including students with ID in regular ed. classes. We can do better. But we need a new generation of parents to stand up and lead the way. The event is FREE. Space is limited so register today!

Date: November 30
Time: 9:30 AM – 4:30 PM
Where: Harrisburg Hilton

Do you want to be more involved in a decision-making group but not sure where to begin?
Are you tired of feeling like the token parent representative instead of an active member of a decision-making group?
So many times, we are on committees or in meetings but don’t know what the process is or how to fully participate. This workshop will introduce you to a resource to help you navigate decision-making groups.
