Educational supports at DJCWA

We are lobbying our school board and government to increase supports for special needs students at Dr. John C Wickwire Academy, a school with a large number of special needs students, especially autism. With such a high rate of autism in Queens County, we need to see an influx of funding to secure more teacher assistants, more program support teacher time, better access to speech language pathologists, school psychologists, and occupational therapists, and more training for support staff. We all value our schools and all the dedicated people who work hard to educate and nurture our children. Please, take the time to sign this petition and lend your support to this important cause, for our kids, our school, and our community. Thank you.
