Christina Cacioppo Bertsch and Susan Yellin
On Tuesday, the Yellin Center for Student Success hosted a book launch for JKP authors Susan Yellin and Christina Cacioppo Bertsch to celebrate the release of their outstanding new book, Life after High School: A Guide for Students with Disabilities and Their Families.
The event, which took place at the Yellin Center’s lovely New York City office, was very well attended by professional colleagues and family members alike.
Susan and Christina signed dozens of newly-minted copies of Life After High School, which has already received glowing reviews in both Library Journal (starred review) and ForeWord Magazine.
