Unfortunately, once again due to weather concerns, we are postponing our playdate! We will post as soon as a new date is established. Thank you for your understanding!
Join other Primary and Elementary Special Education families for a fun afternoon. Meet some of your soon to be classmates! We will have information available regarding OPWDD / MEDICARE / SELF DIRECTION as well as a representative from the Nassau County Police Department who will be able to register children on the spot for their FREE R.E.A.C.H program.
The REACH (Return Every Adult & Child Home) registry is a law enforcement-maintained database of children and adults with cognitive disorders that make them more likely to become a missing person and that potentially limit their ability to communicate. Individuals who are affected by Alzheimera's, dementia, autism, Down Syndrome, mental disabilities, traumatic brain injuries, etc. are examples of people who are prime candidates for the registry. This database is maintained by the Asset Forfeiture and Intelligence unit at the Police Academy and includes photographs, biographical information, and other information pertinent for locating and dealing with registrants such as likely destinations and idiosyncrasies. The REACH registry is an expansion of the Silver Alert System that also assists the Department with a swift response to missing person calls.
