Schroth School - LADACIN Network Honored by New Jersey School Boards Association and ASAH

Leaders at the Schroth School - LADACIN Network, a private school serving students with multiple disabilities, were recently honored for their innovations and excellence in special education as part of Special Education Week.

2013 marks the 29th consecutive year that New Jersey has celebrated Special Education Week. The week-long event, established through a proclamation issued by the Governor, is championed by ASAH ... Serving the Private Special Education Community Since 1974, in collaboration with the New Jersey School Boards Association.  The designation recognizes the achievements of students with disabilities, as well as efforts of parents, teachers and school leaders throughout the state. 

Schroth School was honored for its program, "Experience and Exploring All Student Possibilities and Abilities," which brings students with complex medical and physical disabilities together with typical students to help build awareness, tolerance and appreciation of diversity.

Barbara Gantwerk, Assistant Commissioner of the New Jersey Department of Education, together with leaders from the New Jersey School Boards Association, presented the plaque and praised Schroth School for its cutting edge approach.

"Schroth School has created a program that makes a real difference in the lives of its students," said Gerard Theirs, Executive Director of ASAH. "They are one of the programs in our state that sets the standards for excellence in the education of children with complex disabilities."
