Advocating Access

Staff Report

Bridgewater - Advocates working to ensure people with disabilities have access to services promoted their programs Wednesday evening at TD Bank Ballpark. 

The event, which highlighted connecting children and adults with helpful services, is the outgrowth of a partnership between EmPoWER Somerset, the Somerset County Department of Human Services, Somerset County freeholders and other agencies that provide services to children with disabilities and their families. 

Those partners formed the Childhood Disability Coalition of Somerset County, which recently developed a resource guide for parents of children with disabilities. The guide will be available in print and online at www.childhooddisability.com.
