The Regional Family Support Planning Councils

In accordance with the 1993 Family Support Act, the New Jersey Council on Developmental Disabilities established the Regional Family Support Planning Councils (RFSPCs). The RFSPSCs provide a venue for parents and family members of people with developmental disabilities to exchange knowledge and information about family support services.

Members advocate for families and individuals with developmental disabilities at the local and state level on issues that directly impact their lives. They also collaborate with the New Jersey Department of Human Services, Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD) and Department of Children and Families, Division of Children’s System of Care (CSOC) on how to better serve individuals and their families.

RFSPC members, through their regional councils, monitor and evaluate the service delivery system, and inform families about current issues. They also inform policymakers, make recommendations to DDD and CSOC , and advocate to local officials and state legislators about the needs of those who support a family member with developmental/intellectual disabilities living at home and in the community.
