In Trenton, New Jersey, criminal charges were filed against the driver of the transport van employed with Roselle-based On Time Transport Inc. and a day care center worker employed with Pediatric Day Health Center. The incident was very problematic in that the child had serious health conditions that put the child at significant risk for serious personal injuries. The child, Ty'on Moore, was enrolled as a student at the Pediatric Day Health Center. Ty'on was left in a van in front of the day care center for about 5 hours. Ty'on has medical problems including chronic asthma and seizures. The family was very relieved, after Ty'on was evaluated and treated at a local hospital, that more serious complications did not result from such neglect. Police reported that Ty'on was visibly dazed as a result of the incident and possible medical complications from the 5 hour stay in the van.
Negligent cases involving a child left on a day care van, bus, or other vehicle continue to be reported. These cases are especially problematic and even fatal during hot spring and summer months. Day care centers should have a written policy and procedure in place that should be closely followed so that no child is left behind or forgotten on a day care center vehicle.

New Jersey Governor Jim Corzine is considering legislation that would help students with reading disabilities and difficulties with language skills. The legislation would create a reading disabilities task force designed to determine best practices for diagnosing and treating special needs students. The task force would also examine how current state laws and regulations affect theses students.
About eighty five percent of New Jersey Special Education students are considered language deficient. Proponents of the new law say that they do not receive proper lessons to overcome their difficulties. They say that the new law would save costs by eliminating unnecessary expenses for children who do not belong in special education classes and can enter regular classes once their reading skills are improved.
The bill has passed both the New Jersey Assembly and Senate and is being reviewed by the Governor. It is not clear if he will sign it or not. If approved, the bill would create a thirteen member task force which would include the state commissioners of education and human resources, four legislators and seven public citizens.
The ability to read is a critical skill for succeeding in life. Special Needs Children deserve to be given the tools necessary to overcome reading difficulties and be more successful as adults. Find out more about this New Jersey Special Education Law under consideration by visiting
