Proudly Serving the Northern NJ Special Needs Population Since 2001
ALFA Development, Inc. is a private, 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization agency serving individuals affected by intellectual and related developmental disabilities including autism, PDD-NOS, and dual diagnosis.
Our adult clients have autism, PDD and intellectual disabilities -- many with dual and multiple diagnosis. Many have been turned away from other facilities due to behavioral and health issues; some of our friends have no living family members.
ALFA staff are, at a minimum, trained and certified in CPR, first aid, medication administration, abuse and neglect prevention and crisis management techniques.
You may have passed one of our group homes without even knowing it! ALFA currently has residences in West Milford, Butler and Oak Ridge, and Ringwood, NJ. Each home is situated in a beautiful residential neighborhood with access to a variety of community amenities, such as restaurants, movie theaters, community events and town, county and state parks.

The day program works in conjunction with the residence in order to maintain continuity of care.
ALFA understands that some people with developmental disabilities have special behavioral needs and challenges. ALFA offers behavioral support through our team behavioral specialists. Along with the resident’s family and medical doctors (general and psychiatric) and in conjunction with ALFA staff, the behavior specialist develops a course of treatment to emphasize and maximize positive behavior skills.
