NJ DDD Services That Support Independence, Dignity, and Daily Living

NJ DDD services support eligible adults with developmental disabilities through personalized assistance that promotes independence, dignity, daily living, and community participation. Funded through New Jersey’s Division of Developmental Disabilities, they can include community-based supports, individual supports, respite, personal care, and daily living skill building, all shaped around each person’s individualized service plan.

Adults 21 and older with a documented developmental disability that began before age 22 may qualify after being found eligible by the New Jersey Division of Developmental Disabilities. DDD determines eligibility and the individual budget, and an assigned support coordinator helps guide families through enrollment, planning, and choosing approved providers like Chriswell Health.
