Laura Piontkowski is the Central PA Outreach Coordinator for Abby Care. Abby Care helps families of children with disabilities to train and certify as a home health aide in order for families to get paid to provide the quality at-home care for their child. In this presentation, you will learn about the process of becoming a home health aide in addition to the requirements of the program.
Community Events & Opportunities
Pre-screening panel discussion at 6:15 pm; Post-screening Q&A with Director Salome Chasnoff
A radical reframing of the use of disabled characters in film, gathering hundreds of clips from over a century of Hollywood favorites – viewed with a fresh perspective by on-the-ground disability activists, artists, and scholars. Taking its title from Tod Browning’s 1932 classic, Code of the Freaks counters formulaic “inspiration porn” with a powerful corrective, daring to imagine a cinematic landscape that centers the voices of disabled people.
Presented by Now I Can Intensive Pediatric Physical Therapy (Lititz, PA)

This hunt is intended to be sensory friendly with adaptations made to make eggs more accessible, including accommodations for height, visual limitations, and retrieving eggs. In order for us to make the most helpful accommodations, registration is requested by 4/14.
