WEST ORANGE, NJ — The West Orange Police Department will hold a special needs symposium on Friday, April 27, from 6 to 10 p.m. at Liberty Middle School, 1 Kelly Drive in West Orange.

This program is helpful for people who are nonverbal or easily disoriented. This includes those who suffer from autism, dementia, deafness, Alzheimer’s and other developmental disabilities. The program is strictly voluntary and is not limited by age or disability.
This event is free and open to the public; light refreshments will be served. For more information, contact Officer Chris Jacksic at cjacksic@wopd.org or 973-325-4045.
