What happens if I refuse to sign this?

I’m an autistic adult living in a group home in NJ, USA. I’m required to have a behavioral plan at this specific group home. I’m unhappy with much of what the group home has put in the plan and they aren’t the best at working with me on things. I will try to resolve things with them first but if that is not possible what happens if I refuse to sign the plan? I’m my own guardian so I’m the one that signs.

You might want to reach out to your state’s disability rights office for help. Find yours here: ndrn.org/about/ndrn-member-...

Thank you, I will!

Although I am not in the USA, I located this NJ web page of resources which might also be of assistance:
