Newmark Parent VIRTUAL Seminar: Thursday, March 23, 2023
"Understanding Your Child's IEP Evaluation"
Presented by Newmark Education - Virtual
Presented by Ashlie Jernigan, MS, NCSP and Adam Goldberg, Ed.M.
Date: Thursday, March 23, 2023
Time: 9:00-10:30 AM
Location: Virtual (meeting link will be sent after registration)
The evaluations and assessments conducted as part of the IEP process provide objective data that informs your child’s program and goals. However, the assessments can be quite extensive, technical and difficult to absorb if one is not trained to interpret the results. Our Newmark school psychologists would like to provide useful and easy to understand information about how to decipher the assessments and discover how they inform the IEP goals. The event is free for Newmark parents but registration is required by Monday, March 20, 2023.
The event will be VIRTUAL. A meeting link with be sent prior to event

As we approach the halfway point of the school year, we would like to provide a parent seminar on how we shape student behavior. Now that we have worked with your child for several months and have gotten to experience and know them, we can offer this opportunity to teach you about how Newmark shapes student behavior. We will introduce the foundations of the counseling and behavior programs in place at Newmark, and answer parent Frequently Asked Questions. Parents new to Newmark are encouraged to attend to engage in a deep-dive into our behavior modification system, and all parents are welcome for a refresher.

Location: Newmark - 1000 Cellar Avenue, Scotch Plains, NJ
Presenter Monique Lewis, Executive Director of Equal Opportunity Support Services, will walk attendees through the sometimes overwhelming process of transitioning individuals with Developmental Disabilities out of the Children’s System of Care (CSOC) and into the Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD). Get proactive tips to help caregivers of individuals with developmental/ intellectual and/or behavioral disabilities live their best lives after they turn 21. Once individuals "age out" of CSOC, families must select an agency to provide support or one will automatically be assigned by the State. Learn how to enlist help to identify the needs, strengths and goals needed to develop a personalized plan to attain those goals.
