For my family, attending traditional religious services is not an option for us. Fortunately, there are special needs ministries in NJ that families can attend which may be more appropriate for their child. Many of these ministries offer inclusion or special need-specific programs, private services for your families or accommodations during traditional services, outreach, activities, parent/caregiver support, quiet rooms, and trained staff on hand to assist your family.
