"Our son used to just sit on the sidelines of activities, but now he participates. He is talking more because the Easterseals staff has taken the time to understand his style of communication. Easterseals has lifted up my life and has been great for our family."
At Easterseals New Jersey, our services for adults with developmental and physical disabilities are designed to provide options that maximize independence for the entire family. Our services are based on the participant’s interests and desires as well as the needs of the family/caregiver.

We ask and appreciate your continued patience during this time as we re-adjust, and things continue to change around us. Restarts take time and require a series of modifications. We’ve faced a lot of challenges as a community but remain committed to making this the best and safest experience for our program participants. If you have additional questions, please contact your regional site manager.
As an approved provider for DDD services, meaningful community integration for people of all ability levels is at the core of our mission. We believe everyone deserves an opportunity to engage fully in their community as a contributing member of their locality. This means we prioritize community-based socialization, learning, volunteerism, and recreation in small group sizes (limited 6) and in the safest way possible. We focus on the possibilities of what can be done, not what they can’t. Join us today.
Using a team approach to promote success, each individual has a service plan that outlines the person’s goals and objectives on which they work with staff daily. The individual’s quality of life is enhanced through socialization with their peers and staff, the opportunity to develop friendships and take part in recreational activities, learn new skills, and participate in a variety of community activities.
