MERRY

CHRISTMAS

&

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

From all of us here at

 

SPECIAL NEEDS NJ, LLP

 

We sincerely want to thank you all for  visiting our site, and hope you continue to stay plugged in for 2015

We are excited about new therapy options that will be offered in the New Year

(read below)

And invite you to take advantage of our tutoring special.

New Year update and specials: 

As of the week of January 4th, Special Needs NJ, will be moving all of their tutoring services and some ABA therapies to 820 Limecrest Rd. Andover NJ.

We have found that we can better serve our students on site where we have access to more computers, i-pads, printers, scanners, copiers etc… along with a new program utilizing Interactive Metronome therapy.

We feel the price of gasoline, along with the time constraints of traveling to individual homes leads to less preparation time, inabilitiy to access internet information, and provide additional materials for our students to utilize post session. Therefore, we feel it is the right time to make this change.

SPECIAL: For the New Year, and in lieu of this change, we are offering a special for all of you!!

For 10 pre-paid sessions: your student will receive an extension of 15 minutes each session, PLUS 2 sessions FREE!

All tutoring and ABA (Life Skills) sessions will be scheduled for Monday’s and Wednesday’s from 2:30pm-7:30pm. Please email or call (973) 940-6923 to book your space.

In home ABA sessions will be booked for Tues., Thurs., and Fridays at a minimum of 2 hours per. (These are Insurance provided therapies).

Pre-paid special will run from Jan. 2, 2014 through March 31, 2014

Here’s wishing all of our families the brightest of this Holiday season!

Transportation and carpooling opportunities are available.

Call our office for information.

Federal Dyslexia Resolution 456:

Special Needs Advocate/IEP CoachLeave a comment

 

Federal Dyslexia Resolution 456: 

 

 TIME TO ACTIVATE!

Res. 456, “Resolution on Dyslexia” presented by Rep.Bill Cassidy (R-LA) needs the support of at least 100 U.S. Congress members to bring it to a vote in the House

Education and the Workforce committee.

Please contact your representative and tell him or her to sign on to the

Resolution on Dyslexia, now!

Find your representative here: http://www.house.gov/representatives/find/

Sample letter here:

Dear Rep. ————

Rep. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) needs the support of at least 100 U.S. Congress members to bring to a vote  H.Res.456 in the House Education and the Workforce committee.  As one of your constituents concerned with the education of all of our children, I am counting on you to support this resolution.  

(Insert your personal story here, if you have one that you’d like to share.)

Rep. Cassidy’s Resolution recognizes each major element of dyslexia: its prevalence (1 in 5);  the cognitive and neurobiological bases; its unexpected nature and persistence; its profound impact on education and the critical need for action by schools.

Rep. Cassidy gets it and I hope that you do too.  The Bipartisan Dyslexia Caucus which he co-founded was a major step forward and now the Dyslexia Resolution brings light and understanding, and hopefully action, to ensuring that children who are dyslexic receive the understanding and evidence-based programs and accommodations that they deserve.  Please act now to support Resolution #456 –
