NJ DCFS - Bergen County

Corie is a very kind and caring young adult who has been involved with the Division since he was 9 years old. Corie has multiple diagnoses and is developmentally delayed. He will be able to attend his current school until he turns 21. In school, he has jobs such as a gym teachers aid and making t-shirts and mugs in graphic design. He receives services to help regulate his emotions, build self-esteem and develop coping skills.

Corie is an adult with special needs who has been gradually gaining independence in the community. Recently, he has started going for walks and doing his own laundry at a laundromat. Corie has expressed that having a phone to call for support would make him feel more at ease, allowing him to engage in even more activities than he currently does.
