Supervisor Early Chldhood at Paterson Public Schools
Paterson, NJOur staff receives minimal assistance and support due to budget constraints and the overwhelming number of preschool children in our district. We currently serve 3500 preschoolers. Everyday we get referrals from parents, early intervention, DYFS, and hospitals requesting programming for children on the Autistic spectrum. It is, therefore, extremely important that FATE continue its efforts to provide training and assistance to districts like ours.

Equally important is the fact that local teachers are now training and passing on the science and understanding to others including parents. Many of our students are now moving ahead and demonstrating improvement in crucial life skill areas such as language and social development.

Port Jervis, NYI first heard about FATE’S workshops in the fall of 2007 when a teacher I work with raved about the first training in the series. The trainings have provided me with valuable information that I can implement into the classroom and in my individual sessions. FATE first provided me with a framework, and now through the other sessions, I am learning specific teaching strategies for each skill.
