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

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.

📣 As policymakers return to Trenton next week, #NJACP is ready.

From strengthening the DSP workforce and securing sustainable funding to protecting Medicaid, advancing housing access, preventing unfunded mandates and ensuring providers have a voice in policymaking, NJACP’s Public Policy Priorities define where we’re focused and what we’re fighting for. Because strong community providers make inclusion, independence and opportunity possible for individuals with IDD across #NJ.

The Legislature may have taken a break over the summer, but NJACP’s advocacy never does.
