Remembering Dr. Oliver Sacks 

Dr. Oliver Sacks worked much of his life to unravel mysteries of Tourette Syndrome, Autism, and Parkinson's. NJCTS was honored to have Dr. Sacks speak at our very first gala in 2001. He was a truly gifted individual who will be missed.

At one of our first presentations this month, we had more than 150 teachers, nurses, and staff from the Newton School District in attendance.
