Rep. Tom Kean pushes for national disability ombudsman, modeled after NJ watchdog
November 3 at 1:39 PM · 

I joined the New Jersey Legislative Disability Caucus’ quarterly session to discuss the creation of the Ombudsman office seven years ago. This office supports individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families. 

When I sponsored the legislation establishing our state’s first Ombudsman office, I wanted to ensure that families had a true advocate — someone to help them navigate complex systems and be their voice in government. 
My team and I are currently working on ways to model this type of office at the federal level, so that families across the country can benefit from the same support and advocacy NJ families have received.

Thank you to the Caucus and to Ombudsman Paul Aronsohn for your tireless work on behalf of our most vulnerable communities.
