S 4119 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes various programs to support neurodiverse students at county colleges; appropriates $1.475 million.

This bill establishes programs to support neurodiverse students at New Jersey county colleges, appropriating $1.475 million total. It creates a two-year pilot program to fund accessibility coordinators at three county colleges (one per region) to provide academic advising, resource navigation, and career connections for neurodiverse students. It also funds $75,000 for faculty/staff training on supporting these students and $500,000 for STEM-focused facility grants (e.g., sensory-friendly spaces, assistive tech) to improve campus accessibility. The programs target county colleges directly, with reporting requirements to evaluate effectiveness after two years.
