Fun facts about PAL

PAL is owned, operated and staffed by residents of Harford and Cecil county who are highly engaged in the community

PAL does not have a minimum number of hours recommended for in-home services and only a two day, two hour minimum for clinic services (that can be one in home and one in clinic day)

PAL does not discharge a child for turning a certain age or starting school.... we work with you towards discharge by equipping and empowering clients and families and gradually fading ourselves out
