Major Activities

Activity 2

Access to resources - par provides free online access to information about services, funding and eligibility for consumers (people with autism or intellectual disabilities) and their families through the par services network (psn). Psn is the premier database of services and supports available to persons with intellectual disabilities and autism in pennsylvania. This information is also available, free of charge, to state and county governments who coordinate services. Par also operates carecareer, a statewide database of career opportunities in the fields of autism and intellectual disabilities where job seekers can search, for free, for meaningful careers, and potential employers can post job openings.

Activity 3

Advocacy - par assumes a key leadership role in the development and implementation of comprehensive support systems that have the capacity to fully serve people with autism and intellectual disabilities in pennsylvania, according to their needs. Par advocates for effective evidence-based policies, practices and quality frameworks within the service system. Par's advocacy extends well beyond the traditional federal and state definitions of "lobbying." in addition to those defined activities, par empowers and educates individuals and families who receive services and also those who are waiting to receive services through information exchange, partnership coalitions, as well as through its online action center which is available to the public at no charge.
