If you have a child with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities, you may be anxious about their transition from PerformCare (New Jersey's Children's System of Care) to the New Jersey Division of Developmental Disabilities (New Jersey's Adult System of Care).  During this workshop, Pat Llewellyn of the Center for 21+ will explain the process in clear, easy-to-understand language that will ease your concerns.

Pat will discuss the crucial step of applying for Medicaid, the four pathways to obtaining coverage, and steps to take to ensure that the coverage continues.  He will describe the NJ DDD application process, documents that must be submitted for approval, and the variety of services that the agency provides.

Participants will receive handouts providing brief summaries of the NJ DDD, SSI, and Medicaid.
