Douglass Organization for Occupational and Related Educational Services, Inc. ("DOORS") is a parent-run organization which provides funding for various social, educational, and recreational services for students of Douglass Developmental Disabilities Center ("DDDC"), located on the Douglass College campus of Rutgers University in New Brunswick, NJ. These programs are essential to the total growth of an individual with autism. Traditionally, however, these kinds of programs don't often receive funding from state or local agencies, so DOORS was founded to fill the funding gap.
DOORS was formed in 1990. The initial goal for the organization was to help establish an adult services program for graduates of the Douglass School, a division of the DDDC. Today DOORS programs provide support to all students at the DDDC. DOORS mission is to provide resources help children and adults from the DDDC community thrive and grow. Adult Program: This is a key program for a vastly underserved community. The Adult program strives to promote individual growth and skill development through employment programs, teaching life skills and promoting community integration.
