A Message from the CAPE
-
It is with great honor and enthusiasm that I join the BCSS CAPE Resource Center as Supervisor. I am grateful and humbled by this opportunity to serve you, and I look forward to this challenge. I have been a BCSS employee since 2014 as a School Psychologist, Counselor, and Case Manager, and helping students with special needs has been my mission for the past twenty-two years. Under the leadership of Linda Wieseneck, the CAPE Resource Center has become a beacon of hope for families, which I promise to maintain with integrity. Linking families to the most up-to-date information to improve the lives of individuals with disabilities will continue to be the focus of the BCSS CAPE Resource Center.
Upcoming events in March include our parent support groups, Lunch & Learn Webinar on NJ ABLE and a webinar with the Division of Developmental Disabilities on the Community Care Program and Self Direction at a new time (6pm)!
Looking forward to seeing you there!
