Skelos "Man of the Hour"
"A Ulysses saga, a harrow-ing
journey," said Dr.
Ellenmorris Tiegerman.
Executive Director of the
School for Language and
Communication Disorders,
regarding the obstacles the
innovative new school has
faced since their opening in
July.
The school, a not-for-profit
institution, serves
children 18 months to five
years of age with communi-cations
disorders who reside
in Nassau, Suffolk and New
York City. The school is
unique in its philosophy of
family involvement and par-ent
language training, espe-cially
as the primary educator
in each classroom is a
speech/language patholo-gist.
The school was threa-tened
with closure as a result
of serious cash flow prob-lems
due to bureaucratic
snags.
Earlier this week, the 100
s t u d e n t s and f a c u l ty
members presented State
Senator Dean Skelos with
the school's "Man of the
Hour" award in recongni-tion
for the Senator's role in
getting a temporary letter of
approval from the State
Education Department so
that school could continue
in operation.
"It is difficult enough
being the parent of a handi-capped
child, but not being
certain if the school was
even going to be able to
remain open, was a heart-wrenching
experience.
Upon hearing of the con-cerns
of the parents of the
k i n d e r g a r t e n children.
Senator Skelos stepped in
and smoothed the way for
state approval," said Clau-dia
Lowenstein, a parent
from Lawrence and member
of the school's Board of
Directors.
It is incumbent upon
elected officials to cut
through the red tape and
help progressive programs
like the School for Lan-guage
and Communications
Disorders remain vital and
functioning. I am pleased
that I could help these child-ren
and alleviate some of the
stress on the parents, some
