In addition, ABCD responded to an April 21st Star Ledger article where a lawmaker urged  Governor Christie to halt the plans to close Vineland Developmental Center until a Legislative Review Panel has studied the impact on the residents.

ABCD’s letter to the editor, which was published the very next day, April 22nd,  focuses on the rights of individuals with developmental disabilities to live in the most integrated setting appropriate to their needs. Here is a link to the  letter to editor on Closing Vineland DC.
