As part of our ongoing commitment to helping create a more autism-friendly New Jersey and our dedication to ensuring quality programming and services for adults with autism, Autism New Jersey is proud to share our latest publication, Residential Program Quality Indicators: A Guide for Families. Caregivers can use this guide and interview tool to meaningfully evaluate their options when selecting a residential program for their child.

The publication is accompanied by a printable and fillable PDF, the Residential Program Quality Indicators: Workbook, that families can take with them as they tour and interview prospective residential providers.

Families and caregivers can also contact our 800.4.AUTISM Helpline at any time for answers to their questions and targeted referrals. They can also search the Autism New Jersey online referral database, using the search term “Adult Services – Individual Supports.”
