After November 25th, 2020, DDD closed in-person congregate day service facilities until at least January 19th 2021 due to COVID-19 in the state of New Jersey. However, after a webinar on January 7th, 2021, they decided to keep programs closed for in-person services with no reopening date identified. Adults with developmental disabilities need programs and day programs matter.

I am a 31 year-old who has autism (ASD) and loves attending Camp Acorn since 2002.

The developmentally disabled desperately need respite and have waited too long for programs to reopen for in-person services. When programs first closed last March, as mandated by Governor Murphy and DDD, they weren't prepared.

Please help me sign this petition so we can write a letter to DDD, demanding to have all congregate day service facilities reopen because day programs matter and the developmentally disabled need these programs.
