Life at NJACP — See What’s New!

njproviders

Advocating for our member agencies as they provide quality supports and services for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

✅ WIN: NJACP Members as Job Creators. This Labor

✅ WIN: NJACP Members as Job Creators.

This Labor Day, #NJACP celebrates our member agencies as significant employers in communities across New Jersey and the incredible work they do to help individuals with IDD become part of our state’s workforce.

Through supported employment, job coaching, vocational training and other employment services, NJACP members help individuals build skills, earn a paycheck, contribute their talents and experience the independence and pride that come with meaningful work. At the same time, our members employ thousands of New Jerseyans in careers dedicated to supporting others and strengthening their communities.

That’s workforce impact on both sides of the equation and something worth celebrating this #LaborDay.

🟣 Challenge: Recognizing providers as economic drivers.

Community providers do more than deliver essential services—they strengthen New Jersey’s economy. NJACP member agencies create thousands of jobs, support local communities and build career opportunities across the state.

Through supported employment, job coaching and vocational programs, providers also help individuals with IDD enter the workforce, earn wages and contribute their talents.

They create jobs, expand opportunity and strengthen New Jersey’s workforce and economy.

🟡Forward Focus: Making the economic case for investment.

NJACP will be placing greater focus on demonstrating the economic and workforce impact of community providers across New Jersey.

Our member agencies don’t just make inclusion, independence and community life possible. They are employers, job creators and economic contributors, while also helping individuals with IDD enter and succeed in the workforce.

We want policymakers to understand the full return on investing in community-based services: investment in providers advances inclusion AND strengthens New Jersey’s workforce and economy.

That’s an impact worth measuring, telling and investing in.

Why are YOU proud to be a member of NJACP? 💙💛❤️ “

Why are YOU proud to be a member of NJACP? 💙💛❤️

“The field of special services is equally rewarding and challenging. In our opinion, a quality DSP must be patient, loving, honest, reliable, and attentive to detail. Without those qualities, you cannot effectively improve the lives of the population we serve. A successful business/program must share those qualities and also be incredibly resilient, willing to incur risk/liability, informed on matters far outside its comfort zone, and generally fortunate enough to effectively navigate an unpredictable minefield of legislation, litigation, and regulatory oversight or overreach.

In 2025, we reached out to NJACP because our agency’s leadership was drowning in uncertainty and anxiety over several factors largely outside our control. Our worries were entirely unrelated to running an effective program, which we believe most agencies are capable of despite legislators and state agencies; not because of them. After our first interaction with their leadership, we realized that NJACP offered the solutions, camaraderie, and peace of mind that we were missing as a lone wolf program. Their industry-specific insurance connections saved us a fortune. Their political involvement helped us stay informed and prepared for important updates and changes instead of remaining anxious. And their community of providers and administrators made us feel welcome and understood.

ABLE loves being a part of this association. We appreciate the hard work they do on behalf of providers and individuals. And we recommend all providers consider joining this community, which will make us all stronger in the process.”

Thank you, Joseph, for sharing why being an NJACP member matters to you! We appreciate you taking the time to share your perspective and for being part of the NJACP community.
