The National Association of Special Education Teachers’ highest organizational honor is the Excellence in Special Education Award. NASET’s Excellence in Special Education Award is open to an organization, association or foundation that has made a commitment to educate and/or advocate for children with disabilities and their families. NASET’s Excellence in Special Education Award is our most distinguished award and is bestowed no more than once a year to one select organization, association or foundation. The winner of this award exemplifies a genuine concern for the education and well-being of children with special needs.
Flawless was selected for the 2009/2012 NASET Excellence in Special Education award! We are absolutely thrilled. Please read this wonderful article detailing the award and NASET.
“Upon review by our Board of Directors, NASET is proud to bestow upon Mrs. Janine Francolini (President and Founder) of The Flawless Foundation (www.flawlessfoundation.org ) our highest organizational honor, the 2010 NASET Excellence in Special Education Award, for the foundation’s commitment, dedication, and service to children with neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders, their parents, and professionals throughout the United States.
When informed of the award, Ms. Francolini stated, “We are so honored to have received this award from such an extraordinary organization. We dedicate the award to all the people who work on the front lines with children everyday. The Flawless Foundation was born from the inspiration and gratitude that we have experienced first hand with the heroes that work in special education with our “Flawless ” children.”
Upon review of the work that the Flawless Foundation has done, NASET was thoroughly impressed with its vision of creating and supporting programs that accomplish the mission of “seeing, discovering, and nurturing the perfection in every child.” It is evident that the Flawless Foundation is very much “inspired from a place of gratitude and passion for children.” The work follows its dedication of being “creative, hands-on and proactive to enrich the lives of children who courageously face challenges of neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders on a daily basis.” Finally, the Flawless Foundation’s commitment to “advocacy and eliminating the stigma around mental illness in children” is both inspiring and truly admirable.”
