Advocacy NJ

AdvocacyNJ is a 501(c)3 non-profit providing special education services and disability advocacy.

AdvocacyNJ is a 501(c)3 non-profit providing special education and disability services to children, families, adults, and professionals. We work closely with local families, schools, professionals, and preschools by providing training, support, and referrals to area resources. Our mission is to break down barriers that exist between the medical community, education, and families seeking support. I

t is nearly impossible for families to find answers on their own, so AdvocacyNJ steps in to put the pieces together and give hope to children who have struggled for so long to feel like they belong in school. We support students with programming, identification of disabilities, bullying, lgbtq+ rights, and more.
