This volume provides a quick reference to services available in New Jersey for people with developmental disabilities and their families. The guide begins with a brief overview of New Jersey's definition of developmental disabilities, a description of the work of the New Jersey Developmental Disabilities Council, and an outline of civil rights guarantees provided by major Federal laws. The guide contains the following chapters: "Delivery of Services" (public agencies, county offices on the handicapped, private providers); "Preventive and Remedial Health Care" (prevention, diagnosis and evaluation, financial assistance); "Identification and Early Intervention"; "Special Education"; "Vocational Training and Employment" (Division of Vocational Rehabilitation Services, employment services, sheltered workshops, work activities training centers); "Community Living and Habilitation Services" (personal care assistants, respite care, community care programs for the elderly and disabled, day training, adult activities, adult day care); "Transportation Services"; "Recreation and Leisure"; "Advocacy, Legal Assistance, and Guardianship"; and "Adoption and Foster Care." Each chapter lists organizations providing services for the developmentally disabled, along with the address, telephone number, and description of the specific services offered. (JDD)
