Abilities of Northwest Jersey Inc. received its 14th consecutive three-year accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF International) for its Community Employment Services.

Abilities is the only non-profit organization in the northwest region of New Jersey with services accredited specifically for Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

The accreditation covers administration, employment supports and job development, organizational employment, comprehensive vocational evaluation, employee development and student transition services with an “Autism Spectrum Disorder – Adults” designation for each accredited service. CARF International is an independent, nonprofit accrediting body.

“This is a major accomplishment for Abilities because it’s the highest level of accreditation that can be awarded to an organization, and it demonstrates our substantial conformance to the CARF standards,” said Abilities CEO Cynthia B. Wildermuth.

Abilities, which undergoes a rigorous peer review process, again demonstrated to a team of CARF surveyors that it is committed to offering exceptional, high-quality services and programs. “We are especially proud of the Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder population designation. Our team works incredibly hard to ensure those living with ASD receive individualized services and supports that promote success,” said Wildermuth.
