NeurAbilities supports those with autism
BY JEFF FALK
Autism or autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental condition that affects how some people conduct themselves, gain knowledge, speak and listen and relate to others. It’s a disorder that we continue to learn about and one that might be more prevalent than first realized.
NeurAbilities Healthcare of Lancaster approaches autism from both clinical and behavioral perspectives. Two of the organization’s main goals are to enhance the lives of people and families affected by the disorder and to integrate those individuals into society.
“People are often coming to us because they are struggling to support their family members,” said
Adriana Neumann, NeurAbilities’ senior director for applied behavior analysis clinical services. “There’s something they’re struggling to manage. They want their child to learn, to make progress, to navigate
“We want to be able to teach a different skill. We’re focused on anything that supports independence.”
the world. Every family is different. Every person is different. Our job is not to change individuals. Our job is to remove barriers and help them manage.”
Established in Lancaster in
2022, NeurAbilities Healthcare is a relative newcomer to the local autism treatment scene. NeurAbilities Healthcare, which is located at 1858 Charter Lane, Suite 201, Lancaster, serves its clients through a communitybased approach and on a one-onone basis.
“We want to provide services with excellence,” said Neumann. “Ultimately, we support largely the autism community, people with an ASD diagnosis. You have a lot of individuals who are experiencing different challenges. We like to focus on abilities. We’re supporting patients. We’re supporting learners. We try to capitalize on people’s strengths and focus on what they can do to overcome those challenges. We like to see every individual for who they are.”
Coats for Kids warms extremities and hearts
BY JEFF FALK
Picture this: A makeshift store containing aisles and aisles of brand-new kids’ coats separated by sizes, styles and colors. Families in need can enter, peruse the winter coats, select one and take it home.
That’s what Coats for Kids looks like. That’s what the Salvation
Army means when it says, “Doing the most good.”
“My favorite part about Coats for Kids is when the kids go into where the coats are,” said Shady Boules, who’s been Salvation Army Lancaster Corps’ operations and development manager for five years. “You see their eyes open. I tell them, ‘Go ahead; pick a coat.’ They’ll answer, ‘Do you

At Overlook Activities Center, hockey’s
BY JEFF FALK
On the one hand, it’s about playing a beloved sport and revisiting the days of youth. On the other, the pickup roller hockey program promotes staying young and remaining healthy.
Sponsored by the Manheim Township Recreation and Park Planning Department (MTRPP), pickup roller hockey is one of the few organized programs out there designed to address the physical and mental health of adults, especially men.
on a roll
“They’re guys who just really love hockey and love the game,” said Jeff Green, an MTRPP program manager who’s overseen the pickup roller hockey program for the last eight years. “Ice skating is much different than roller or inline skating. It’s an avenue. These guys are friends, and they’ve gained friendships through pickup roller hockey. They’re just average guys. They come when they’re able to, and it’s open to everyone.”
By nature, pickup roller hockey is very informal and laidback.

SPECIALS FOR VALENTINES
More than man’s best friend
BY ADRIAN ESCHENWALD
If you walk into the headquarters of United Disabilities Services (UDS), located at 2270 Erin Court, Lancaster, you’ll find more than a few reasons that dogs are commonly referred to as man’s best friend. The nonprofit organization provides highly trained service dogs for clients throughout Lancaster County and its surrounding areas, and each UDS dog is equipped with a special skillset to meet its owner’s needs.
In early January, an office on the second floor of UDS’ main building was temporarily converted into a kennel for a litter of young golden Labs. The six puppies were less than 3 months old and, like all new arrivals at UDS, adorable but unruly. After a 22-month training program, each dog will be obe-
dient enough to accomplish tasks such as opening a door and picking up a TV remote from the floor. Outside the room of puppies, UDS volunteer Linda Rineer worked with CJ, a black Lab that is almost ready to be paired with a client. While a chorus of yelping and whining echoed from the temporary kennel, Rineer praised and encouraged CJ as he pulled a walker and opened doors on command.
“The key to successfully training a dog is food, food and more food,” said Rineer, a resident of the Buck who frequently travels to UDS’ facility to assist with training. “A lot of people think (service dogs) are working, but for them, it’s like playing ball all day.”
UDS service dogs specialize in different areas, and each canine is matched with a job that complements its personality traits and strengths. Some dogs may have a calming presence that can help anxious children feel more comfortable in school, and others are perceptive enough to recognize the early signs of a traumatic flashback and rush to their owners’ side. Rineer said the fourth UDS dog she helped train was able to fetch bottles of water from the refrigerator for a client with mobility restrictions. The dog was even able to take the empty bottles to the recycling bin after the owner was finished.
In recent years, UDS has broadened its service area to include clients within five hours of Lancaster County. The number of local school districts requesting a service dog has steadily increased as well, and UDS dogs currently serve nearly every school district in the county. Jennifer King, a member of the UDS service dog ambassador team, said
many teachers testify that service dogs have reached students in ways no school staff member was able. “It’s the power of a wagging tail and a wet nose,” King said.
UDS relies on sponsorships and donations from the community to sustain its service dog programs. Each dog requires an investment upward of $25,000 to cover the cost of coaching and food during the 22-month training period, and financial support from individ -
uals and businesses allows UDS to lessen the cost of acquiring a dog for clients.
UDS will hold its annual bingo fundraiser on Sunday, March 9, at Farm and Home Center, 1383 Arcadia Road, Lancaster. The organization is always accepting volunteers who wish to help with events and training sessions. For more information, including how to become a volunteer, visit https:// udservices.org.

Individuals 18 years old and older simply show up at Overlook Activities Center’s Roller Skating Rink, 301 Golf Drive, Lancaster, on Sundays between 7 and 10 a.m.
Following a warm-up period, Green divides the group of individuals into teams of six to eight members. The teams play against one another in an alternating fashion, for a designated period of time - for as long as 12 minutes - usually without keeping score.
Pickup roller hockey is played at Overlook Activities Center from early December to the middle of March when many of the more formal local outdoor roller hockey leagues are on sabbatical for the winter. There is a fee involved with playing pickup roller hockey at Overlook.
“It’s pickup hockey at an indoor facility,” said Green. “It’s a very oldschool type of just show up. People get a good workout and a good skate in. I enjoy playing here because you are playing for fun. It’s very good exercise.”
Roller hockey is different from ice hockey in that each side consists of four skaters and a goalie, a ball is used in the place of a puck and the playing surface is wood instead of ice. Players at Overlook are required to wear gloves, helmets and shin pads for safety.
“I wouldn’t consider it competitive,” said Green.
“It’s recreational. Everybody’s paying the same, and we’re all there to have fun. We have some guys who are really good. A lot of the guys are regulars, but we make everyone feel welcome.”
On any given Sunday, between 20 and 22 individuals show up to play roller hockey. The players hail from Manheim Township, East Petersburg, Ephrata and other communities across the county.
“Some guys play two or three times a week,” said Green. “A lot of guys love hockey, and this is their go-to place for the sport they love. The facility is a nice big rink. It is a great program as far as men coming together.”
“I’ve been skating my whole life at that roller rink,” Green continued.
“It’s about the friendships you grow through hockey. I love the game, but I don’t place ice (hockey). I go to NHL games all the time.”
Very much in line with MTRPP’s stated mission of providing recreational activities for its residents, the origin of the pickup roller hockey program at Overlook predates this century.
“For me, it’s almost like mental and physical relaxation,” said Green. “I love my family and my job, but this is my one time throughout the week to have that avenue and let things go. It’s a stress reliever to focus on the game you love to play. Everybody has that one thing they use to relax; for me it’s hockey.”

mean I can pick a coat? Do you mean I can pick my favorite color?’ For some, it’s their first time. To see kids making a decision on what things they can wear is very rewarding.”
It is at that exact moment when all the hard work that goes into the Salvation Army Lancaster’s Coats for Kids program becomes worth it.
This season’s Coats for Kids initiative has already distributed 1,900 brandnew kids’ coats to kids and families in need from Lancaster County. The Salvation Army expects to hand out another 600 coats before the end of the winter season.
The speaker will be Michael Lassiter, senior pastor of Temple of Rhema Ministries. He has been featured on the “His Commission” TV program on the

The 30th annual initiative to make sure every kid in Lancaster County has a brand-new winter coat continues. Coats for Kids, which is currently being implemented at the Salvation Army Lancaster Corps’ headquarters’ gymnasium at 131 S. Queen St., Lancaster, kicked off its efforts in October, and the program will run through the end of March or until the weather turns warmer.
Individuals can still donate brand-new coats by dropping them off at the Salvation Army Lancaster Corps’ headquarters, or they can donate monetarily.

“Once fall arrives, some people start thinking, ‘How do I get coats for my kids?’” said Boules. “We want kids to be able to go to school and make sure the other kids can’t tell their coats came from the Salvation Army. We treat our neighbors with dignity. We want them to be proud of their coats.”

“If people have more coats, we’d appreciate it. We need more coats all the time,” said Boules. “We hope we’ll keep doing it. Every single dollar for this program goes right to Coats for Kids. It doesn’t go anywhere else. We want to make sure we have enough coats for next year and the year after.”
The Coats for Kids program is designed for kids up to 16 years of age who reside in Lancaster County. Following an application and interview process, each child in need is permitted to choose one coat.
“We cover every ZIP code in Lancaster County,” said Boules. “Some people think we’re only serving people from the city, but that’s not true.”
“It gives hope to the children when they know there’s a community standing behind them,” Boules continued. “We have a lot of people dropping off checks and saying, ‘We were part of this program years ago. I’d like to give back and pay for someone else.’”
It takes nearly 150 volunteers - community members, members of churches, companies and service clubs and students - to make Coats for Kids run smoothly. In the early days of September, local television station WGAL helped raise $130,000 for the program.
“We’re very thankful for the people who believe in this service,” said Boules. “We are blessed to have a generous community. We want to tell the community that we’re here to help. The door is still open.”

NeurAbilites Healthcare
The Lancaster office of NeurAbilities Healthcare is set up to be a colorful, warm, inviting space filled with toys and pictures that learners can relate to. More than 10 staff members operate the office, including three certified clinicians.
“In Lancaster, or anywhere you go, there are people who don’t know what autism is,” said Neumann. “The field itself is growing, and there’s always a need for autism services. As we’re working to grow the Lancaster clinic, we want to enhance community engagement. There will be a push in the community to know what autism is and what NeurAbilities does. Hopefully, we’ll be able to improve awareness around that.”
Currently, NeurAbilities Healthcare is serving about 15 local learners, mostly children under the age of 9 from Lancaster County. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about one in 36 kids in the United States has ASD.
“We provide community-based services,” said Neumann. “We look at what individuals need. We do services in our clinic, in homes and in schools. It’s anybody with challenges impacting their abilities to function. Those are the people who are coming to us for our services.”
Backed by a private equity firm, NeurAbilities Healthcare is a self-sufficient private practice. Some of the services provided by NeurAbilities Healthcare are covered by Medicaid or health insurance.
“We have individuals who come in who have certain skill deficits in communication, in patterns of behavior, in social interaction,” said Neumann. “We also support individuals who engage in challenging behaviors. When someone is engaging in a behavior, there’s a reason for that. We want to be able to teach a different skill. We’re focused on anything that supports independence.”
“There are other agencies that provide similar community-based skills,” Neumann added. “Some
from pg 1
agencies don’t have clinics - they go into schools and homes - and some only have clinics. But it seems to me that there’s always a need.”
NeurAbilities Healthcare operates a total of three diagnostic centers and 14 applied behavior analysis clinics in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
“We’ve got improved insight into what autism is, and we have more doctors who understand what it is,” said Neumann. “There are more diagnoses. The question we are asking is, ‘What is causing this?’ There has been research into it, but there’s not a hard answer.”
