In this section, DDS has compiled a list of various other services and supports available to NJ Residents with disabilities.  The programs have been categorized by target disability as a matter of reference, although some may serve multiple populations.  Where a NJ Website was not available, a national website has been provided.

Please note: While DDS Information and Referral Specialists are familiar with each of the programs listed and can provide general information, these programs are not administered by DDS.  Please follow the links on each page to learn more about and/or to apply to a particular program.
