Mission of Nicky's Gardens of Hope
A place where the growing Intellectually Developmentally Disabled (IDD) and Autistic Adult population live with dignity in a warm and safe home environment attuned to their needs. A non profit dedicated to making a difference for those living with disabilities such as IDD & autism.
It will provide transparency of mission and operations to our residents and their families to alleviate common fears and misunderstandings.
It will serve their needs with compassion, help in achieving everyday goals, and nurture aspirations in an empathetic, non-judgemental and caring environment.
At or around 21, Adults with Autism and intellectual Developmental Disabilities (AA&IDD) will lose most of the services provided to them. Drexel University’s Autism Institute estimates that more than 600,000 persons with autism will enter adulthood
in the next decade in the US.
Falling Off The Services Cliff
Is NJ prepared formore IDD Adults?
The numbers are high enough, about 1 in 10, that you have a family member, or friend with a family member, who is affected. The 2012 Census shows 20% of US population has some form of disability and numbers are increasing. There needs to be changes to how they are cared for as their parents age.
