About NJ Association of the Deaf-Blind

Mission Statement To improve the quality of life of people who are deaf and/or blind. Vision Statement NJADB exists to provide lifetime, comprehensive services and support to people who are deaf-blind, deaf or blind, including people with developmental disabilities and communication impairments. Recognizing that all people are unique in their abilities and desires, NJADB will provide individualized support to help people form connections, achieve goals and participate in life. At the heart of our programs and services is the fundamental belief that all people are valued members of our communities. Our activities will promote community accessibility for the people we serve and generate awareness of the possibilities for community enrichment when all people are included. History NJADB began in 1978 as a support group for parents of children with deaf-blindness and developmental disabilities. The majority of these children were born with varying degrees of deafness, blindness, and mental retardation as a result of the Rubella epidemic in the mid-1960's. Today, NJADB serves more than 250 adults and their families. Through a variety of programs, NJADB provides direct services and specialized support that people with this unique disability require to enjoy a community lifestyle and improved quality of life. NJADB programs are statewide with facilities located in Hudson, Hunterdon, Essex, Middlesex, Monmouth, Somerset, and Union Counties.
