One of the NJCDD's most important tasks is creating a five-year state plan. The five-year state plan is like a roadmap. It helps us prioritize what issues to work on over the next five years.

If you or someone you know has a developmental disability, we want to hear from you. One of the ways you can share your priorities with regard to developmental disabilities is by completing a brief survey (see links and QR codes below).

Thank you in advance for your input.

Ensuring Safety & Thriving Lives in Licensed Settings.

Much to our dismay, the federal budget proposed by the President calls for the elimination of University Centers for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities (UCEDDs) nationwide, including The Boggs Center.

If The Boggs Center has made a difference in your life, please take a moment to share your story, which will be used to educate policymakers about the impact of their work: https://rutgers.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_2uhJN5fqhF1cJRI

To express your concern about funding cuts that will negatively impact people with disabilities and their families, you can contact your legislators directly by calling the US Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121.
