We will respond to your message as soon as we can. Thank you for contacting PACER!

Schedule PACER’s Count Me In puppet show
Help bring the message of disability awareness and social inclusion to young children! This age-appropriate show features child-sized puppets that capture children's attention and imagination. The show educates, entertains, and inspires young children to be kinder, more accepting, and inclusive to all kids, especially children with disabilities.
