Cranbury Hosts ASD Family Night

We recently hosted an ASD Family Night, bringing together families from Cranbury, Kendall College and Career Academy, and Fox Run Elementary School to learn more about resources available both in school and in the community to support those with autism.

Families heard from inspiring speakers, including Christian, a young man who has autism, Erica Sorey, senior director of engage services for Vista Life Innovations, Inc., and NPS educator Esther Vallas, who shared her personal journey and insights on building a fulfilling, independent life as an adult with autism.

The evening also connected families with valuable community partners and district specialists, including Dottie Jankowski (executive director of family support services for STAR, Inc., Lighting the Way...), Paola Arongo (family and community engagement coordinator for Filling in the Blanks), Anthony Netkovick (director of applied behavioral analysis (ABA) for OneWell Health Care), and NPS team members Angela Rinaldi (Assistive Technology Coordinator), Gillian Klase (Speech-Language Pathologist), and Jessica Ireland (Transition Coordinator), all of whom shared tools and supports to help every child succeed. 

Thank you to all who made this event possible and for continuing to support our students and families every step of the way.
