What We're About
The PB Network was created by Patrick Barney. Patrick was born with Spina Bifida and was autistic (highly functioning). One day Pat was watching Jeopardy and asked his brother John “how come I can’t be on Jeopardy or any of my friends. Let’s come up with our own TV show just for our community.” Patrick created Pat Barney’s Quiz Wiz and hosted the show at his improv class and at his other day programs. Patrick wanted to share his vision with the community across the US. We began to create a website that streams Pat Barney’s Quiz Wiz and other meaningful daily activities for our community in 2019. Unfortunately, Patrick passed away in 2020. To carry on Patrick’s vision, his brothers developed The PB Network in 2021.
The PB Network provides meaningful daily activities for Day Program participants, Residences, and individuals to participate in community involvement, gaining confidence, working with others, sharing ideas, developing verbal, and writing skills and having fun!
The PB Network provides the platform for all the meaningful activities to be shown on our website.
