Description

Meredith Peterson joined the podcast to talk about the Parent Education & Advocacy Leadership (PEAL) Center.  Since 2005, the PEAL Center has been committed to serving families and professionals across Pennsylvania. Today PEAL works with families, youth and young adults with disabilities and special health care needs to help them understand their rights and advocate for themselves. Through our unwavering commitment to inclusion and our guiding values, we empower families and individuals to be included in their home schools and access high quality, coordinated physical and behavioral health care. PEAL's services are provided at no charge to families as they are funded by private donations and federal, state, and private grants.
