When I visited BARC in Bucks County, the people I met there — family members, support staff, and folks with an intellectual disability or autism – could not have been clearer: BARC and the support services they provide are invaluable to them — and they need more support.
My budget makes a nearly half a billion dollar investment to deliver more resources for centers just like BARC that make a life-changing difference for our neighbors.

I’m here at @Achieva in Pittsburgh to highlight how my $483M investment increases wages for caregivers and improves access to home and community-based services across Pennsylvania.
Let’s work together to support our intellectual disability community. teapawt.net/i/broadcasts/1LyxBnQaw…

Many venues in PA charge people with disabilities twice, once for themselves and again for their personal care attendant. Support "Michael's Law." Read this new op-ed to learn more: inquirer.com/opinion/comment… Photo: Michael and @RepTarik, prime sponsor of "Michael's Law"
