A Day in the Life of...Burton, Neva and John

 

Learn about a new free in-person workshop being offered across New Jersey for self-advocates, families/caregivers, support coordinators, and provider agencies who support individuals moving out of a family home, a nursing facility or other congregate setting, and into a home or apartment in the community. Offered jointly by the Community Living Education Project and the NJ Division of Development Disabilities (NJDDD), this workshop was offered twice in June 2026, and will be offered again in Fall 2026 and Spring 2027. The workshop focuses on how to embrace the concepts involved in person-centered thinking and planning and tools that are available to help this approach.  

The Community Living Education Project is delighted to welcome a new team member on-board! Jill Novotny brings with her over twenty years of experience in support coordination and supervising support coordinators. Jill is also a sibling of someone with a developmental disability and is passionate about providing dignity, advocacy and meaningful support to those who need it. Jill brings the perfect combination of professional and lived experience to the CLEP team.
