Resources, activites and more from The Autism Helper.

The PaTTAN website has a new webpage for Educators, Families, and Students during the COVID-19 school closures. PaTTAN has organized resources by initiative. This site will be updated weekly as new resources are added. One resource PaTTAN wants to highlight are Office Hours. The initiatives are setting times when people can contact or join into virtual meetings. The intent of the office hours is to answer questions and share resources.

**** The purpose of the website page is to offer PaTTAN support, be available to IUs and LEAs, and provide resources. We understand that during this challenging time, some may be ready for these resources while others may not. That said, anything we offer through PaTTAN will be recorded and archived for access in the future.

Here at PMHCA and Youth MOVE PA we understand the toll social isolation can take on our mental health.  Connecting online can be a good way to alleviate this issue. PMHCA and Youth MOVE PA will be hosting a series of “Virtual Drop-In” zoom meetings to help reduce the sense of social isolation we can experience during this difficult time. These are NOT clinical or therapeutic groups!

Youth MOVE PA is excited to host a “Youth Virtual Drop-In” that is all about getting some social interaction, even if we can’t go out and do our normal things like school, sports, going to the game store, or hanging with our friends. We know how stressful it can be when our routine is messed up and it is just as frustrating when everyone is talking about Coronavirus as if there might be impending doom!! We would like to help you feel better about the outside world and the stress it may bring by meeting new people who join this group. We will be talking about ourselves, what we like, and be discussing a specific topic with each other during each meeting. This gives us some distraction from the anxiety that can arise from being stuck inside all the time. Our meetings will be hosted every Monday and Friday from 1pm to 2pm on Zoom. Meetings will be moderated by Zack Karenchak, Tristan Schnoke and Aaron Zimmerman.
