Community Support Services – Adult Day Training Program

CSS Dad and Son "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."

Providing Real Opportunities for Independence

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.

For Our Participants

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.

Services are customized based on the participant’s:

Personal interests and desires
Level of ability
Goals for growth and independence
Level of personal care needs

Services Focus on Encouraging, Supporting and Helping Participants to:
