Supportive Living Services attended the Highmark Walk at Penn State Behrend on Saturday, June 1st. It was an inspiring event with a great turnout of community members supporting local nonprofits. SLS would like to take some time to sincerely thank the local organizations who donated to help support our Highmark Walk for a Healthy Community fundraising goal.

The local organizations include:

Adaptive Construction Solutions - Platinum Sponsor

First Nonprofit Companies - Gold Sponsor

Dusckas Funeral Home - Silver Sponsor

Bonded Services Corporation - Silver Sponsor

SLS also received some select sponsor donations as well as various donations from staff members. We are extremely grateful for all donors and greatly look forward to participating in the Highmark Walk for a Healthy Community next year. 

On Saturday, April 27th, SLS attended the 23rd annual Autism Walk put on by the Autism Society of NWPA. 

Despite the cold temps and heavy rain, there were hundreds of people who showed up to show their support for the Autism Society. SLS had many visitors at our booth as we passed out "SLS" drawstring bags, our Autism Program brochures, and fun squishy toys for kids to enjoy at home. 

SLS launched an Autism Support Program for Adults in early 2023 to address the lack of support and services for neurodivergent adults over the age of 18 with an autism diagnosis but without an intellectual disability. 

The Autism Support Program at SLS provides uniquely designed services and support to individuals in their own home or community setting. These services are intended to increase an individual’s independence and achieve specific dreams and goals based on an individual service plan developed by the individual and team. In keeping with our mission statement, we see that a great many individuals have the capacity to succeed in the community but might need additional support to get started.
