North Arlington Access For All

North Arlington Access For All North Arlington Access for All is a non-profit that is dedicated to providing support and resources to children with special needs.

Our mission is to empower these children to reach their full potential by providing them with inclusion and opportunities that include social activities, all designed to help children thrive. We believe that every child deserves the chance to live a happy, healthy, and fulfilling life in an inclusive community and we are committed to making that a reality for every child. This outreach approach is

intended to foster diversity and inclusion among community members, while providing networking opportunities for those differently-abled or with special care, their family, friends and caregivers
In support of this County initiative, the North Arlington Borough Council adopted a Resolution to form an Access for All Committee. Access for All is a county-wide, diversity and inclusion initiative spearheaded by James Thebery, Director of the Division on Disability Services for Bergen County’s Department of Human Services. North Arlington’s Access for All Committee operates in collaborative partnership with Access for All committees established in municipalities throughout Bergen County. email: [email protected]

💙 Thank You for Supporting Autism Acceptance! 💙

We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who came out to support our Annual Autism Acceptance Event. Your presence helped make the day meaningful, welcoming, and full of connection.

A special thank you to the Mayor and Council for their continued support of our mission. We truly appreciate your commitment to helping create a more inclusive community for all.

It was wonderful meeting new people, building relationships, and strengthening our network of families, advocates, and supporters. Events like this remind us how powerful community can be when we come together with understanding and acceptance. Special thanks to Doris Fitzgerald for always supporting our mission and being so generous

Stay tuned for our upcoming events! we look forward to seeing you again soon!

Every individual experiences the world differently, and it’s our responsibility to approach every interaction with patience, compassion, and respect.

As law enforcement officers, we are committed to ongoing training and awareness to better serve individuals with autism and other special needs. Whether it’s recognizing communication differences, sensory sensitivities, or unique behaviors, these moments matter, and how we respond matters even more.

Our department is in full support of the Blue Envelope Program, a statewide initiative that provides a simple but effective way for individuals with autism to communicate important information during motor vehicle stops. These envelopes can help reduce stress, improve communication, and promote safer outcomes for everyone involved.

Together, we can build a safer, more understanding community for everyone.
