LIVINGSTON, NJ — JoyDew will be holding a grand opening event for its new location in Livingston on Thursday, Dec. 5.

The grand opening will take place at 5 Regent Street (suite 513) from 3 to 5 p.m. Visitors can learn about the agency’s day program for adults on the autism spectrum, which focuses on “strengths, job training, employment, higher education, housing and social life.” Guests can also get a tour of the autism-friendly space.

“People with autism have special gifts which often go unrecognized due to communication differences and societal stigma,” Moish Tov, CEO of JoyDew, said earlier this year in an announcement about the expansion into Essex County.
