MONDAY, NOVEMBER 13 AVAILABLE ON ITUNES, STITCHER, OR GOOGLE PLAY When young adults grow up and finish school they need to figure out what to do next - and where they belong. Exited will bring you the stories of eight young people with disabilities and their families as they navigate life transitions. We meet Nate, a high school student and aspiring artist who struggles with tests. Maggie, Jesse, and Patrick — three students enrolled in transition programs at different colleges. Akin, who leaves high school and enrolls in a day habilitation program. Carrie works at a sheltered workshop, for now, and Teale, who likely won’t be able to take part in a workshop of her own because they are being phased out. Barbara, a full time care taker to her son, Jonathan asks what his future may look like as he gets older. Exited launches on November 13, but you can subscribe to it now on your favorite podcast app. WXXI’s Inclusion Desk is a multi-platform reporting effort by WXXI News to inform and transform attitudes and behavior about inclusion.

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 13 AT 9PM ON WXXI-TV Abandoned by his birth parents and unable to speak for himself, DJ Savarese (“Deej”) found not only a loving family but also a life in words, which he types on a text-to-voice synthesizer. As he makes his way through high school and dreams of college, he confronts the terrors of his past, obstacles to inclusion, and the sometimes paralyzing beauty of his own senses. In his advocacy on behalf of other DEEJ nonspeaking autistics, he discovers what having a voice can truly mean. TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 14 AT 7PM AT THE LITTLE THEATRE Dina, an outspoken and eccentric 49-year-old in suburban Philadelphia, invites her fiancé Scott, a Walmart door greeter, to move in with her.

Best Regards, Norm Silverstein [email protected] | @normWXXI Q&A WITH A WXXI UNDERWRITER HISTORIC HOUSEPARTS got into the business of selling architectural salvage and renovation materials back in the eighties in response to the abundance of rehabbing occurring in the market at the time. Current co-owners Chris Jones and Jim Wolff moved into the South Wedge in 1991 and became regular customers of the original business, and eventually purchased the place. With over 20,000 square feet of space to explore, and over 25,000 items housed o n its website, Historic Houseparts is the go-to resource when it comes to the preservation (and celebration) of the past. Chris Jones offers additional insight on her business. Q. What is Historic Houseparts’ core philosophy? Old is better! Preservation of our architectural heritage is vitally important to all communities to teach people about their history. Learning about a building’s nuances teaches us about the lives of the people who lived in these old properties. Reuse of old buildings is not only better for the environment but it also preserves the character of neighborhoods. EVENTS Q. How does Historic Houseparts’ architectural salvage process work? We purchase salvage rights from a property’s owner then our crew will go in and salvage the usable materials from a property. & Q. Most prized find to date? Tiffany shades and some beautiful stained glass windows, that of which I have trouble parting with! Q. Favorite part of the job? I really enjoy seeing the “after” pictures of our customers’ projects.
