ECLC of New Jersey is a nonprofit, accredited educational organization that serves children and young adults with autism, Down syndrome, intellectual disabilities, and other developmental challenges. Established in 1970, it operates schools in Chatham and Ho-Ho-Kus, New Jersey, educating nearly 300 students aged 5 to 21 and providing a pathway beyond school through post-graduate employment services via its affiliate, Community Personnel Services, which assists graduates in finding meaningful jobs and offers ongoing workplace support. The organization also offers the PRIDE Adult Program in Paramus and Florham Park, enabling adults to choose daily activities and engage with the community, with opportunities to participate through associated programs. ECLC positions itself within the primary and secondary education sector for students with special needs, focusing on education, careers, and lifelong community involvement. A recent development noted is the acknowledgment of a HUD Community Project Grant for renovations tied to ECLC’s facilities in Chatham, reflecting ongoing expansion and community integration.
