Susan has been a valued member of the Yesodot staff for 3 years. In her tenure as the Yesodot Program Associate, she helped hundreds of families who have children with special needs get the support they needed. Susan was crucial in the development of our Transition Planning notebook - a four volume resource manual on the transition process, (which is available on Yesodot's web site for Transition members), and many of you have come to rely on her very informative emails. Susan's last day was August 13th, 2009. She will be greatly missed here at Yesodot.
