Dear All:
As many of you know , April is National Autism Awareness Month. For families with children and/or adult members with special needs, Covid-19 has added an extra level of potential challenges which some families may need to address on an immediate or time-sensitive basis. NJICLE has put together a special program entitled COVID -19 and Autism: Addressing Immediate Issues in an Upside Down World. This program runs this Monday, April 20, 2020, from 1:00-3:00 p.m, and features a highly diverse 6 person panel to address a multitude of legal and social issues of relevance to both intact families and fractured families with members on the autism spectrum. I am honored to be moderating this special program. The panel includes Paul Prior, Esq, Francesca O'Caithan Esq, Carmen Diaz-Duncan, Esq, Lisa Parles, Esq, and Cynthia Policastro-Smith who is a longtime special education teacher and autism therapist . This seminar will be of particular interest to attorneys, judges, and other professionals who focus to any degree on special needs, family law, school/special education law, probate/surrogate practice, chancery practice, estate planning,disability law, and general practice as well. Hopefully you will be able to attend online.
The best of continued luck to all in these challenging times.
Best Regards,
Lawrence R. Jones
