ECLC of New Jersey, an accredited nonprofit school, provides special education for children ages 5 thru 21. Our children have severe learning and/or language disabilities, autism, or multiple disabilities. Students come to ECLC when their local public school determines that an out of district placement is indicated. At our two campuses, Chatham and HoHoKus, we serve over 300 students from 11 counties in New Jersey. We also serve an additional 110 young adults with Community Personnel Services (CPS), our supported employment program.

Mission Statement
ECLC’s mission is to help the whole child develop socially, emotionally, academically and physically. Our program integrates academics with speech, language, physical and occupational therapies, counseling, social skills development, work-readiness preparation, activities of daily living and real job experiences. Our goal is to prepare our students to face the world of work and to prepare them to integrate into the communities where they live.
At ECLC, we believe that maintaining student individuality is paramount to success. Because children's needs are always changing, our program is designed with flexibility in mind. Students work at their own pace, using a variety of creative and motivating materials. Students are measured by their own successes, of which there are many!
