How We Help

Consistent with our federal mandate, Disability Rights NJ is here to provide a wide array of advocacy services for people with disabilities, their families, and other stakeholders:

• We investigate allegations of abuse and neglect to ensure that people with disabilities are safe wherever they receive services.
• We provide legal representation to people with disabilities who have legal issues that fall within our goals and objectives.
• We monitor settings where people with disabilities receive services, including developmental centers, state psychiatric hospitals, group homes, and nursing facilities.
• We provide information and referral to people with disabilities and their families in areas outside our priorities, as well as technical assistance to other stakeholders.
• We engage in outreach, education and training, with an emphasis on building the expertise and skills of self-advocates.
