At HMS, we hold a deep belief in the transformative power of community, acommitment that resonates annually through our dedicated Community Day. This pastyear, our impact resonated far beyond the confines of our immediate surroundings, aswe achieved a significant milestone for the cerebral palsy community in Pennsylvania.Through collaborative efforts and dedicated advocacy, we successfully championed therecognition of World Cerebral Palsy Day, a historic accomplishment enshrined inPennsylvania through House Resolution 200. This groundbreaking legislation, a first forthe state, was realized through our collaboration with Representatives Heather Boyd andRick Krajewski.The passage of House Resolution 200 is a testament to HMS's unwavering commitmentto raising awareness and fostering support for those affected by cerebral palsy. Our rolein bringing this day of commemoration to the attention of legislators is a source ofimmense pride, and we are thrilled to witness the emergence of new advocates forcerebral palsy. This collective effort not only signifies a positive shift in perception andunderstanding but also serves as a catalyst for increased support, inclusivity, andempowerment within our community and beyond.

ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGYThe Assistive Technology Department's notable achievement in developing a Barcodeinventory system for all Assistive Technology equipment at HMS marks a significantleap forward in organizational efficiency. This innovative system has successfullycataloged and barcoded over 1,125 pieces of equipment, providing a comprehensive andmeticulously organized overview of the resources at our disposal.The implementation of this inventory system goes beyond a mere listing of items; itserves as a pivotal tool for streamlined management. By diligently documenting eachpiece of equipment, the department has created a dynamic database that not onlyindicates the quantity of assets but also tracks their condition. This meticulousattention to detail ensures that the school is well-informed about the state of itstechnological resources.Moreover, the system offers insights into the circulation of equipment. By recordingwho currently has specific items on loan, the Assistive Technology Department hasestablished a clear chain of custody, not only enhancing accountability but alsofacilitating the smooth flow of resources within the school’s community.In addition, the inventory system provides a location-based reference, allowing forquick and efficient retrieval of equipment. This spatial awareness is a crucial factor inoptimizing resource utilization, enabling staff to access the necessary tools promptly tobetter serve our students.While the department acknowledges that there is more to be inventoried and barcoded,the progress made thus far signifies a step toward better resource management. Theassurance that comes from knowing the exact inventory, conditions, users, andlocations of these essential resources is invaluable, contributing significantly to theoverall efficiency and effectiveness of assistive technology services at HMS. Thisinitiative not only empowers the Assistive Technology Department but also underscoresthe institution's commitment to providing a technologically advanced and well-organized environment for the benefit of our students.
