Today might be the last day of Disability Pride Month but it is something that we celebrate all year long!

Many people with disabilities still face barriers to being fully included and valued. Ableism is often ignored, but its effects are real. It limits access to education, jobs, healthcare, and respect.

So as we continue into August and beyond we just want to thank all the advocates who work hard, promoting equality and inclusion all year long!

The New Jersey Statewide Self-Advocacy Network (NJSSAN) is made up of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) throughout the state. The NJSSAN is used as means of supporting positive change on both a personal and social level. It consists of five Councils based on geographic location within the state.

The regional Councils meet on a monthly basis and are open and free to all individuals with IDD. The NJSAP team collaborates with the Council leadership to create an agenda based on what the self-advocates wish to discuss. The NJSSAN Council meetings are a chance for advocates to voice their perspective, learn about issues that impact their lives and the lives of other people with IDD, socialize, and to develop strong advocacy skills.
