HOW WE HELP
[image: Logo Square for Social.png]

Disability Rights New Jersey, a nonprofit organization, is dedicated to
advancing and protecting the human, civil, and legal rights of people with
disabilities.

   ensure that people living in those facilities and using those services are
   free from abuse and neglect, and that their rights are not violated.



   - We provide legal representation, without charge, to people with
   disabilities in cases that fall within our priority setting process.



   - We are dedicated to providing education, training, and technical
   assistance to people with disabilities, their families and advocates, the
   agencies that service them, and policy makers among others.



   - We provide state-of-the-art access to information and advice about
   assistive technology.
