What will happen in another 4 years? How can we go on like this? This is a national (and international) problem of monumental proportions.

Beginning this summer, the Educational Services Commission of New Jersey (ESCNJ) will open a new autism program in Phillipsburg, expanding services within the state’s largest public specialized school district.
