About us
7TH & Madison Extensions of Empowerment is a women-founded Assistive Technology organization based in New Jersey, dedicated to advancing accessibility, safety, and independence for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (ID/DD) and older adults aging in place.
With over 15 years of experience in disability and human services — including Support Coordination, Care Coordination, and community-based program development — our team brings a deep understanding of how to connect individuals to the right technology, resources, and supports that improve quality of life.
Today, we specialize in Assistive Technology (AT) and Environmental Modification (EM) evaluations, adaptive equipment recommendations, and training that help individuals live more safely and independently within their homes and communities.
Our approach is personal, compassionate, and outcomes-driven — every member is known by name, respected as an individual, and supported through solutions tailored to their unique needs.
Recognized for our white-glove service standard, we proudly serve adults and older adults across more than 21 New Jersey counties, collaborating with Managed Care Organizations (MCOs), state agencies, and community partners to deliver life-changing accessibility solutions.
"Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he or she has overcome while trying to succeed."
- Booker T. Washington
