Offices for the Disabled
New Jersey has 18 County Offices for the Disabled that work to advance independent living for people
with disabilities by providing a wide range of services. The
mission for the Offices that are members of the New Jersey
Association of County Offices for the Disabled, Inc. (NJ ACOD,
Inc.) is to empower people with disabilities to become
self-advocates and to live independently in the community. To
further these goals, the Offices for the Disabled serve an
advocacy role and provide information & referral on a variety of
issues. The public can contact the Offices for information about
the following topics and other issues of concern for people with
disabilities:
ACCESSIBILITY ADA

Many Offices for the
Disabled administer the Personal Assistance Services Program (PASP).
This important program serves people with chronic, physical
disabilities and helps to enable program consumers to pursue
vocational goals and maximize self independence. Personal
assistance services are routine non-medical care and chore
related tasks performed by personal assistants. Including, but
not limited to, assistance with essential daily living
activities such as bathing, dressing, meal preparation,
assistance with laundry and shopping, driving and other forms of
transportation.
The members of the New
Jersey Association of Offices for the Disabled are connected to
the `Information Super Highway' through the New Jersey
Department of Human Services' on-line System. This innovative
technology makes it possible for the Offices to network and keep
informed about the latest changes occurring in programs and
services for people with disabilities.
