A nonprofit founded in 1970, ECLC provides “Education, Careers & Life-long Community” to nearly 900 individuals with special needs, including autism, Down syndrome, and other developmental disabilities. We are leaders and pioneers in the field of special needs.
The ECLC Foundation is the fundraising arm of the ECLC family of organizations which includes, two state-approved schools that provide individualized instruction at no cost to families, fulfilling the state's Student Learning Standards. In addition, Community Personnel Services, an ECLC affiliate, helps prepare students and young adults for life after graduation through transition services, support coordination and supported employment. The Pride Adult Program, also supported by ECLC is a day/evening program serving adults with developmental disabilities, with centers in Chatham and Saddle Brook.
The ECLC Foundation also funds and operates after-school, weekend, evening recreational, social and enrichment opportunities for all the children and adults we serve in the ECLC family of organizations.
