TRENTON – Legislation sponsored by Senate President Steve Sweeney that would help young adults with developmental disabilities transition to adult employment cleared the Senate Health, Human Services and Senior Citizens Committee today.
“There are many services that are provided to children with developmental disabilities to help them get through school, but those services don’t always continue once they reach adulthood. Establishing a center in each county will ensure that these young people are given a chance to enter the workforce well prepared and can become successful adults,” said Sweeney.
