State-funded day programs for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities can resume in two weeks with limited capacity. These programs have been on hold for most of the COVID-19 pandemic, leading some families to say that their disabled loved ones have been neglected by the Murphy administration. “They don’t understand what’s going on. We’re their advocates. We have to scream and holler for them and that’s what we’re trying to do,” says Christine Irons, whose adult daughter has autism.
