Infant Intervention Program - weekly services infants born with developmental disabilities, who are birth to three years old. Referrals have increased but with staffing shortages, a large wait list continues for our counties and throughout New Jersey. Our committed team of highly qualified professionals including: speech and occupational therapists, educators, social workers, and behaviorists, are teaching families and care-givers how to stimulate and improve the child's developmental abilities. Children with developmental disabilities like autism, Down syndrome, CP, and prematurity as well as those with hearing or vision impairments and speech delays are helped to grow and learn.

TECHConnection - offers an assistive technology computer center open to the public, serving people of all ages, birth to geriatrics, who have developmental or acquired disabilities as a result of birth defects, accident, illness, injury or aging. The increased use of apps, IPads and tablets has increased a shift post pandemic with fewer people visiting to try out devices, software and materials. The field is changing with more resources easily accessible at home. Computer training classes are available to the public including modified educational classes for adults with disabilities to maintain and build educational skills and gain pre-vocational skills, in our two facilities in Red Bank and Brick, NJ. Wellness classes include yoga,dance, and karate.
