Information and Resources Related to COVID-19
 Across the world, we are
experiencing an unprecedented set of challenges as we all work together to
prevent the spread of COVID-19 through social distancing and other protective
measures. Having reliable, up to date information and resources to help us
better understand COVID-19, necessary health and hygiene precautions, and
strategies to maintain emotional well-being is important to us all.
The Boggs Center, as New
Jersey’s federally designated University Center for Excellence in Developmental
Disabilities (UCEDD) and New Jersey’s Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental
and Related Disabilities (LEND) program, has compiled a selection of resources
from New Jersey and across the country that may be useful to the disability
community across the state.

New Jersey Partners in Policymaking Now Accepting Applications
-
-
New Jersey Partners in Policymaking is a leadership development and advocacy education program for adults with developmental disabilities (over age 21) and family members of young children and transition age youth available through collaboration between The New Jersey Council on Developmental Disabilities, The Boggs Center on Developmental Disabilities, and Disability Rights New Jersey. The goal of this program is to prepare the next generation of disability advocates to work toward meaningful change in our state.
The 2020-2021 Partners in Policymaking sessions are currently scheduled to take place using a hybrid model that combines virtual learning through the use of online technology and in-person training sessions, beginning in September 2020 and continuing through April 2021. The COVID-19 pandemic brings uncertainty with how long social-distancing measures will need to be in place. While we hope to be able to meet in person in January, the situation will be monitored and accommodations to continue with virtual learning will be made as needed.
New Jersey Partners in Policymaking is committed to building a diverse group of participants that is reflective of the needs, geography, and cultural and ethnic backgrounds of New Jersey. The Partners program is now accepting applications from people with developmental disabilities and family members for the class of 2020-2021.

Applications must be received by June 30, 2020. Applicants will be notified of acceptance by July 30, 2020.
