When you attend the first annual youth transition summit - The Path Ahead - at The Winter Center on the Campus of Millersville University on Thursday, June 30, be sure to visit with representatives from these resources and information providers.
The Path Ahead is a collaborative special project produced by Lancaster and Lebanon County partner’s networks of the Pennsylvania Link to Aging and Disability Resources.
The youth transition summit - free to attend - begins at 8:30 am with registration inside the front entrance of the Winter Center. From 9:00 am to 2:00 pm, the program includes several speakers; panel discussions; networking and information exchange with the Link partner-exhibitors.
At the conclusion of the speakers and breakout sessions, 2:00 pm, everyone is invited to a free screening of the important WITF-produced film, I GO HOME, the story of Pennhurst State School and Hospital.
The “one-hour original documentary on the history of people with intellectual disability” is the story of a period in history during which “children with intellectual disability were not allowed in public schools. Parents were told to send their children with intellectual disability away to institutions – that it was best for the child, the family and the community.”
