I am pleased to see the steady evolution of “Autism Awareness Month” to “Autism Acceptance Month,” as what really needs to be celebrated are the enormous contributions of people with autism to our society.
The Educational Services Commission of New Jersey proudly operates a post-age-21 program known as Adult Community Services, in which we teach young adults with autism and other developmental disabilities about life skills and direct them into competitive employment. Through this skills program, people 21 and older have been able to hone their talents in the workplace while earning a paycheck to be self-sustainable.

Give vaccine priority to this group of N.J. teachers | Letters

Over the many months of the lingering COVID-19 pandemic, we’ve heard a consistent message from the governor’s office: New Jersey public schools should be open, if they can safely be open.
Yet, we’ve also heard this contrary message: Teachers, as well as others who work in New Jersey’s public schools, are not a priority for the COVID vaccine.
Adding to that mixed message is the quandary facing the Educational Services Commission of New Jersey, as well as other public school districts serving students with severe disabilities. We are asked to work with the most medically fragile population in a face-to-face setting, yet we are still not warranted any priority status for vaccine.

The Educational Services Commission of New Jersey (ESCNJ), the largest educational service commission in the state, announced the appointment of three new members to its Board of Directors: Dr. Gina Villani, Dr. Bernard Bragen, Jr. and Brian Glassberg.
âWe are fortunate to have a very proactive board that is fully committed to serving students with severe disabilities and behavioral challenges,â ESCNJ Schools Superintendent Mark Finkelstein said in a prepared statement. âAs we navigate through this lingering pandemic and push for in-school instruction as much as possible, we need the input of educational leaders and innovators. Our three new board members are ideal in this realm and we warmly welcome them to help chart our future.â
