Message from Executive Director
Walter Kalman
The NJ Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD) has released its Supports Program Policies and Procedures Manual.
The manual applies to anyone enrolled in the Supports Program and who is not currently on a Community Care Waiver (CCW). It replaces the Standards for Supported Employment Services, Standards for Adult Day Programs, and Self-Directed Services (SDS) Policies & Procedures manuals effective immediately.
While the manual is considered final at this point, the Division will review or revise policies as needed. To provide feedback to the Division, you can contact the Supports Program Help Desk at DDD.SuppProgHelpdesk@dhs.state.nj.us.
