Resources For Families

The Catastrophic Illness in Children Relief Fund (CICRF) is a financial resource to help New Jersey families, regardless of income, cope with medical expenses for their children that are not fully covered by insurance, state or federal programs, or any other source, such as fundraising. The Fund provides a financial safety net to families struggling with a child’s previously incurred medical expenses. The definition of a catastrophic illness in this program is economic and is measured in terms of the financial impact of health care expenses on the family, rather than on the diagnosis or severity of the illness.

The Children’s Dyslexia Centers follow an Orton-Gillingham based, multisensory structured language education (MSLE) approach. Lessons incorporate techniques that simultaneously activate sensory pathways to help children understand the written word. Children are tutored one-on-one twice a week after regular school hours. This allows for the curriculum to be tailored to each individual child and progress is made in small, quantifiable steps.

Children’s Specialized Hospital is the nation’s leading provider of inpatient and outpatient care for children from birth to 21 years of age facing special health challenges — from chronic illnesses and complex physical disabilities to a full scope of developmental, behavioral and mental health concerns.

CEC advocates for appropriate governmental policies, sets professional standards, provides professional development, and helps professionals obtain conditions and resources necessary for effective professional practice.

The Daniel Jordan Fiddle Foundation was the first not -for- profit and only all-volunteer run organization in the United States to focus on adult autism, and has been blazing trails since 2002. We create paths leading to fulfilling and potential driven lives. Our model programs, resources, public policy and awareness initiatives are person-centered and derive from the needs and hopes of the diverse population of adults diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and their families.
