A 295 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Allows certain persons with developmental disabilities 21 years of age and older to attend special education programs and to simultaneously participate in adult day and employment programs.

This bill allows individuals with developmental disabilities aged 21+ who previously couldn't access special education due to behavioral issues (now resolved) to attend approved special education programs if they would benefit. It also permits these individuals to simultaneously participate in both an adult day program (providing daily habilitation services) and an employment program (offering sheltered work training) after transitioning from child services to adult services. To qualify, they must meet each program's eligibility requirements and have their personalized care plan document authorization for both programs. The bill directly affects adults with developmental disabilities in New Jersey who are transitioning from youth to adult service systems.
