    The New Jersey Developmental Disabilities Council is authorized by the federal Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act and New Jersey state law to promote systems change, coordinate advocacy and research for 1.2 million residents with developmental and other disabilities.

    The Council is a public body that serves as a watchdog agency. It serves in an advisory role to the Governor and the State Legislature. It provides training to build the capacity of individuals and groups to influence social policy. The Council's goal is to help people with disabilities and their families improve their lives.

    Council members include people with developmental disabilities, parents or guardians of people with developmental disabilities; nongovernmental service providers and representatives from state agencies that provide services to people with developmental disabilities and their families. Members are appointed by the governor and approved by the New Jersey Senate.

    Fifteen staff members oversee grass-roots efforts in New Jersey's 21 counties; coordinate training; spearhead local and statewide campaigns and generate publications for people with disabilities, their families, policymakers and the public.
