CAAFA invites the public to attend a special forum: Special Education and "Our New Journey"

Community Awareness Access for All (CAAFA) invites the public to attend a special forum featuring two important topics and speakers. It will take place on Saturday, April 30, 2011 from 10 a.m. till 12 noon in the Senior Center located on the first floor of the Municipal Building, 320 Boulevard.  The building and bathroom is handicapped accessible.

Dr. Mark Porto, superintendent of the Hasbrouck Heights School District will be CAAFA’s first speaker. He has been asked to speak about Special Education. This is a subject the organization believes will interest young parents as well as those who wish to learn more about Special Education in our town. Dr. Porto is in his first year here in Hasbrouck Heights and this will give everyone an opportunity to learn of his assessment of the current and future needs of children in this area of education.

Anne Ciavaglia McMahon is CAAFA’s second speaker. She is the founder of Our New Journey and she will discuss her organization’s unique services. Her presentation will be of interest to senior citizens and caregivers. Anne’s many years in Human Services, both in the State and in the County, have made her an expert in her field. Born and raised in Hasbrouck Heights, she has a unique perspective and has always been willing to share her experience with others.
