In addition to our work with independent schools, we have long been pleased to represent families enrolling in high-performing state-approved non-public schools in the city. One of the top such programs we’ve worked with is the New York Child Learning Institute. NYCLI has for decades served children on the Autism spectrum, under the strong leadership of the gifted clinician Dr. Susan Vener.
We have received very concerning news that, following a change in leadership, NYCLI will be closing its doors by mid-August at the very latest, and possibly by the end of June.
We know how tumultuous sudden changes like this can be for children and parents, and we have experience guiding families through the process. As an accommodation to those impacted by this impending closure, we will be offering an open town hall to discuss your legal rights in this process and how best to proceed with the NYC Department of Education to ensure your child does not face an interruption in services. Regina Skyer and senior attorneys from our office will appear at this town hall, along with neuropsychologist David Salsberg. We are glad to answer all of your questions about options moving forward.
Please join us on Wednesday June 28 at 4pm via Zoom. Register for the town hall here.
