Samantha J. Herrick, PhD., Immediate Past President

“Anyone can become a member of the population of people with disabilities, and are likely to at some time in life. Yet people with disabilities are the most universally maligned in our society and worldwide. I work on behalf of those who experience prejudice and discrimination. As a person with more than one diagnosed disability myself, I teach the next generation of rehabilitation counselors to have an even greater impact on the people we serve.”

OUR MISSION

PLAN|NJ’s mission is to help family members of people with disabilities answer the question:

“Who will care for my loved one when I'm gone?”

We coordinate the supports needed by individuals with intellectual, developmental and physical disabilities, and challenges with mental health, including people with autism, cerebral palsy, traumatic brain injury, severe mental illness and more.
