Francine Almash was not especially surprised when an investigator from New York City’s child welfare agency showed up at her door. A few months earlier, her then-10-year-old son, Shawn, who is autistic, had been pinned to a wall by a crisis counselor in his special education classroom and come home with a broken thumb. Almash refused to send him back, and so the school called the State’s child abuse hotline to report her for neglecting Shawn’s education.

Our Integrated Transition Program had a guest speaker today, Ms. Jacqueline Handy from Lincoln Center Education. She presented an opportunity for one of our participants to apply for a 150 hour paid internship opportunity. Next month, our participants will have their job interview, wish them luck!!!
