JES Corry Satellite: Realizing the Need for an Autism Support School and Hub in Rural Pennsylvania
with Kathryn Divittorio

Navigating the world as a parent with a child with autism can be challenging – perhaps even more so in rural communities where access to resources is more limited and a strong support network may be lacking. But imagine if there was a 'one-stop-shop' to gain access to a network of education, early interventive services, and additional support. Join JES Raimy Fellow Kathryn DiVittorio, a mother of children on the autism spectrum who has spent the past six-plus months researching this topic to propose recommendations and action.

JES Corry Satellite: Fiber Optic Broadband: How This Infrastructure Shapes the Future of Rural Spaces
with Dr. Matthew Platz

In the #PositivelyCorry strategic plan, Charles Buki, founder and president of the planning firm czb, LLC., wrote: "Before Corry can invest in attracting new neighbors, upgrading infrastructure, revitalizing housing and neighborhoods, improving public spaces, and supporting businesses in the city and surrounding area, Corry must first connect to the world through high-speed internet. Covid-19 has served to accentuate how far behind Corry has fallen in the race to keep and attract households and businesses. Without end-to-end high-speed internet access, Corry is not only not going to catch up, but it will also fall further behind." Join Charles "Chuck" Gray, Executive Director of Impact Corry, and Dr. Matthew Platz, Executive Director of the Corry Higher Education Council, as they discuss the importance of fiber optic broadband internet as necessary infrastructure.
