Paul Aronsohn, the New Jersey Ombudsman for Individuals with Intellectual or Developmental Disabilities and Their Families, will deliver the keynote address of the Ocean County Library’s 2023 Autism Resources Fair, 12 p.m. Saturday, April 15, in the Toms River Branch.

The Office of the Ombudsman for Individuals with Intellectual or Developmental Disabilities, created in 2017, provides support for issues including adult and children’s services, civil rights education, employment, federal and state policies, health and safety, housing, legal matters, public safety, and transportation. The office helps individuals and families through New Jersey’s system of care, seeks input from them for improvements, and ensures that they are represented in policy decisions that affect them.

Aronsohn also serves on the President’s Committee for People with Intellectual Disabilities. He was a member of the Human and Children Services Committee within Governor Phil Murphy’s transition team.
