Latest ASK Gram:

A support, educational and advocacy
group.
Now serving all children in the Lawrence Township District.
ASK grew out of a shared vision of parents of special needs children. We saw the need for a resource for families seeking answers and support in what can be a challenging journey. ASK, a district-wide Parent Teacher Organization (P.T.O.), serves children placed in all schools in Lawrence Township District, as well as in out of district placements. Please join us. We are here to help and support each other and to share information that helps you advocate for your special child. Let's all work together!
