As New Jersey’s Division of Developmental Disabilities continues to transition to the fee-for-service system and 2021 graduates approach the end of the school year, families will be asked to choose a support coordinator. Your support coordinator is a critical part of you and your family member’s ability to successfully access and maintain services.

The graduating class of 2021 will need to identify a support coordinator before services can begin after graduation. Join us for a virtual “Meet the Support Coordination Agencies” event to meet the agencies currently serving Essex County to make the best choice for you and your family.
