Message from the CEO
With a staff of several hundred DSP’s CSN has been instrumental in re-thinking the traditional Day-Hab model. Instead of asking what’s next after graduation, guardians are now asking the question “what services will provide my son or daughter the opportunity to live their best life”? By helping guardians to craft a schedule of supports, CSN offers a variety of opportunities both in and outside the community. Working together with Support Coordination agencies around the state, CSN has provided individuals with the chance to create their own “best life” with programs and services tailor made to suit their needs.
CSN continues to raise the bar by offering industry high salaries and adding additional highly qualified professionals to our ever-growing family. While we recognize the importance of hiring the very best team members, we are most proud of the fact that each senior level administrator understands and values our culture enough to have started in our most coveted role, that of a Direct Support associate.
Going above and beyond Department of Human Service standards, has long been a hallmark of our Onboarding requirements. Recently, the Department of Developmental Disabilities initiated a new training standard requiring staff to undergo close to 80 hours of training to provide support in a one-to-one setting. To that end, CSN is proud to open a new state of the art training facility in Fairfield, NJ. There, staff will receive comprehensive training, in fundamentals of working with adults with disabilities as well as addressing complex behavioral and medical concerns.
As a result of our efforts, CSN has earned a reputation of excellence as a premier provider of services for intellectual and developmentally disabled adults in New Jersey.
Each year, CSN hosts service provider expos’ bringing together both families and specialized providers that represent a host of interests. This year will be no different as we bring our Transition Expo’s to Bergen, Morris and soon to be, Somerset County.
Along with providing Individual and Community Based supports, CSN has become a leader in Employment Support Services for both DDD and the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVRS).
Today, we are pleased to say we’ve placed over 250 individuals in long-term sustained employment.
​
With respect to our financial outlook, CSN continues to far exceed the standards set forth by the Department of Developmental Disabilities as well as the centers for Medicaid. This allows us to reinvest resources in both our programs and our staff. To that end, I would like to thank our outstanding and dedicated staff, many of which have been with us since inception.
​
I would like also to thank our families without whom, none of this would be possible, and for their unwavering support in us and in our mission.
​
In conclusion, for those who we’ve met, and for those we’ve yet to meet, I would like you to know that we continue our pledge to raising the standard for, and advocating for, the rights of New Jersey’s most vulnerable population.
I appreciate and welcome each and every opportunity, as we continue to help families and their loved ones realize that living life to its fullest is not just a dream, bur a basic human right.
I look forward to what we can accomplish together in 2025 and beyond!​
Warm regards,
Ted

I Am Excited to Share CSN's Vision for The Future of Services Here in New Jersey
As I celebrate the start of my 9th year as Chief Executive Officer here at CSN, I also celebrate my 11th year in my new profession. After 34 years as a successful entrepreneur of a mid-sized regional company in a complimentary industry, I’m truly energized in ways I could have never imagined.
To say that the last 10 years have been life changing would be a gross understatement.
Not only has there been a fundamental shift in the service delivery model in New Jersey, but so have expectations for providers and the individuals we serve. Since our humble beginnings in 2017, when the Fee for Service model (FFS) was first introduced, CSN has continuously paved the way in changing how services were delivered in the Garden State.
