Special Education Week in New Jersey

This year's Special Education Week in New Jersey was a tremendous success, thanks to all the students, teachers, administrators and sponsors who helped! Pictured at right at our awards ceremony in Trenton are, left to right, Past President of the New Jersey School Boards Association, Harry J. DelGado, NJDOE Assistant Commissioner, Barbara Gantwerk, ASAH Board President and Executive Director of the Midland School, Phil Gartlin, and ASAH Executive Director, Gerry Thiers.

Special education services, programs -- and most importantly, special education teachers -- make it possible for children with disabilities to learn effectively and to reach their full potential in their families and communities.

ASAH and the New Jersey School Boards Association, are very grateful for the corporate support provided by our Special Education Week sponsor, PSE&G and Willis.

Student Art Contest

Each year, students at ASAH member schools submit artwork that captures the spirit of special education as they experience it. This year's theme, "Painting a Better Tomorrow," yielded some truly remarkable work! ASAH is pleased to present the students' 2010 submissions here.
