Support Coordinator Staff

At Disability Services & Advocacy, we take extreme pride in our screening and selection of staff. We also firmly believe in transparency. The state of New Jersey requires that all Support Coordinators have a conferred 4-year college degree in any subject and a minimum of 1 year of experience working with adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities. Our Support Coordination staff go through a verification process of submitting official (sealed) transcripts directly from their universities to our Human Resource Coordinator. Professional and personal experience with the adult ID/DD population is verified through candidate resumes, which remain on-file, and a multi-interview process. 

Support Coordinators are required to pass drug tests, have finger printing completed, as well as a criminal background and Child Abuse Record Information (CARI) check completed, prior to employment. Support Coordinators are also screened monthly to ensure they have not been banned from delivering Medicaid-funded services and are subject to drug testing at any time.
