Millburn Special Education Parent Committee To Host Resource Fair

Next Wednesday, October 22, the Millburn Special Education Parent Committee will offer a chance to learn about area organizations and businesses that support the educational and developmental needs of students of all ages and abilities at their second annual Resource Fair.

The resource fair will be held at the Millburn Public Library on Glen Avenue, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. The event is open to parents and teachers from Millburn and surrounding towns.

This year’s fair will feature more than 40 local schools, groups and businesses offering a wide range of help for students and their families. Last year’s resource fair drew an enthusiastic crowd of over 100 parents and teachers.

Parents and teachers can visit the fair to get information related to:

• Therapeutic services, like occupational and speech therapy
• Adaptive sports programs, special needs camps and other recreational opportunities
• Legal and financial services, including guardianship and special needs trusts
• Educational services, including ABA providers, tutors, and assessments
• Psychologists, social workers, social skills groups and other counseling services
• College and career counseling.

The Millburn Special Education Committee, or M-SPEC, is an independent group of parents dedicated to helping other parents face common needs and challenges related to special education. For more information, email mspecmail@gmail.com, or Sondra Kasdon at srkasdon@gmail.com.
