Invite for NYCCAT 'CATS in NY Schools' Committee

[Guest guest]

You are invited to attend the first New York Coalition for Creative Arts Therapies (NYCCAT) CATS in the New York Schools Committee Meeting This meeting is open to all of our

membership!! We would like to begin a committee which would begin the process of paving a path to making creative arts therapies a mandated service in the ny school system. Initially, we want to convene any and all individuals with any experience of delivering any creative arts therapy service in schools. We want to hear from everyone. We want to hear about successes, failures, how services were funded,

how they were referred, how they were provided, were you part of the iep, etc. This committee would be responsible for creating a plan, connecting with our lobbyist and any state, city, departmental officials and creating the juice to make CATS in schools a mandated service.
