NAVIGATING THE NEW SYSTEM WORKSHOP:

What Families Need to Know About Major Changes in the System that Serves Individuals with Developmental Disabilities

New Jersey’s system of service provision for individuals with developmental disabilities is changing.  In order to navigate this new system, individuals with developmental disabilities and their families will need to develop new skills and understand new terminology.  This workshop, presented by The Arc of New Jersey and the New Jersey Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD), will provide families with valuable information regarding significant changes in the system including what it means to be on the Community Care Waiver, how individuals will be affected by the move to a Waiting List for Waiver Services and the shift to self-directed services with individualized budgets.  Join other families at this workshop and learn how to navigate the system that serves individuals with developmental disabilities as these changes occur.

“Navigating the New System: What Families Need to Know about Major Changes in the System that Serves Individuals with Developmental Disabilities” will be presented in every county in the state throughout the year. The next workshop will be held:
