Casino Night 2025

IEA Boosters Club Annual Casino Night was held on Friday, April 4th at the beautiful Hackensack Golf Club. With the unbeatable combination of fine food and spirits, the excitement of gaming for prizes, and the frenzy of activity surrounding our tricky tray prizes and auctions, this event qualifies as another big win for the learners at IEA.

 

We extend special gratitude to our Casino Night Event Committee; Waira Chard, Anthony Crasto, Suzanne Crowe, Kathleen Freeman, Carly Glatthorn, Bethany Hertl, Diane Lento, Peter McKeegan, Chelsea Osborne, Lisa Picinic, and Tonia Polvere for their commitment to ensuring a successful evening for IEA.  Our sincerest thanks go to Norm Forsyth, and the entire Hackensack Golf Club staff, for providing our guests with a wonderful buffet, and their care and attention to every detail.   Special thanks to Warren Schneider and the staff of Evention for bringing a taste of Las Vegas to New Jersey, Jeff Kovatch for his auctioneer talents and enthusiasm, and DJ Willie Wilson for always going the extra mile for IEA.

Most of all, our gratitude belongs to everyone who sponsored and attended the event, and provided us with fantastic prizes for the auctions and raffles. Without you, our program for children, adolescents, and adults with autism would not be possible.  With your help, we can continue to provide those we serve with the skills they need in their pursuit to lead independent lives within their families and communities.  Thank you one and all.

Dr. Bryant Silbaugh

We were honored and priviledged to have Dr. Bryant Silbaugh, author of Quality Control for Behavior Analysts, How to Manage Behavioral Intervention Quality in Autism Service Settings spend a few days at various ASAI agencies. His knowledge and expertise was very valuable and we appreciate the time he spent with us.

“My visit to the ASAI member organizations in New Jersey was amazing. I’ve spent the last 5 years of my career searching for answers to the quality problems plaguing much of the insurance funded ABA autism services industry, and I think I found some. Decades of systematic and progressive improvement in ABA service quality was evident throughout my visit, and these organizations have cracked the code on clinical quality control. As the Founder and President of the National ABA Service Quality Network (NASQN), I’m encouraged by the systems and processes at ASAI member organizations such as the Institute for Educational Achievement that there is indeed a path forward for the ABA autism services industry to get quality right.” ~ Bryant Silbaugh, Ph.D., BCBA, LBA
