About iStrive Community

We are parents that have joined together to provide access to services and support to address the question “What’s going to happen to my Special Needs Adult when I am gone?” Caregivers who provide support for their loved one are concerned about the future when they are no longer able to take care of their family members. Serving Monmouth County, NJ and surrounding areas.

• In New Jersey, 206,000 people have an Intellectual and /or Developmental Disability
• 75% live with their family, but families are aging.
• Nearly 38,000 of Special Needs adults live with a caregiver over the age of 60.

Just as housing and support options for seniors have diversified and expanded over the past 50 years, individuals with Special Needs should also be able to access a variety of choices to meet their broad spectrum of support needs and diverse lifestyle preferences.

We believe that adults with Special Needs should have the same choices and opportunities that this world offers their typical peers.
