About JSDD

At JSDD, the expectations for quality extend beyond what services and supports may be available to what life fulfilling experiences are possible.

Our philosophy supports the notion that there are no limits to those possibilities. We have developed opportunities over time through a dynamic process of establishing relationships with the agency’s residents and WAE Center members. Learning and creativity occur organically as people share themselves and develop friendships and help each other to grow.

Since 1984, the founding leaders have been driven by a commitment to excellence. In 1989, the agency purchased, renovated and occupied its first group home in Millburn.

The JSDD Board of Trustees oversee the function of our organization, ensuring the fundamental values and purpose of JSDD are reflected in the operations process.
