GROUP HOMES VARY FROM 2 TO 7 INDIVIDUALS AND PROVIDE 24-HOUR SUPERVISION BY HIGHLY TRAINED STAFF MEMBERS. SUPERVISED APARTMENTS OFFER MORE INDEPENDENCE AND EACH HOUSES 2-3 INDIVIDUALS. THEY ARE ALSO TAUGHT SPECIFIC SKILLS, WITH GUIDANCE PROVIDED AS NEEDED, GEARED TOWARD A GREATER LEVEL OF INDEPENDENCE.

IT IS THE ONLY NEW JERSEY E.I PROGRAM IN THE COUNTY DELIVERING E.I SERVICES (INCLUDING SPEECH AND PHYSICAL THERAPIES, SOCIAL WORK, SPECIAL EDUCATION, AND FAMILY TRAINING SERVICES) TO OVER 250 INFANTS AND TODDLERS IN HOME AND DAYCARE SETTINGS. PARENTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO FULLY PARTICIPATE IN THESE SERVICES AND ARE INSTRUCTED TO FOLLOW THROUGH WITH RECOMMENDED THERAPEUTIC INTERVENTIONS IN-BETWEEN SESSIONS.

A FAMILY SUPPORT PROGRAM SERVING APPROXIMATELY 66 FAMILIES GIVES PARENTS/CARETAKERS A RESPITE FROM DEMANDING WORK NEEDED TO CARE FOR THEIR DEVELOPMENTALLY DISABLED FAMILY MEMBERS.
