CANONSBURG — Mike Smith added a day in his life to the short list of the greatest he’s experienced, and he thanked the administration of Gov. Josh Shapiro for helping it happen through their support of people with intellectual disabilities and autism.
Smith spoke at the Arc of Washington County on Thursday. He told of how his daughter, Sydney, diagnosed with intellectual disabilities and autism, recently graduated from a specialized program at Slippery Rock University. He spoke of how meaningful it is for Sydney to have the opportunity to work and volunteer within her community.
