The Association Of University Centers On Disabilities (AUCD)
http://aucd.org/template/index.cfm
The Association of University Centers on Disabilities (AUCD) is a membership organization that supports and promotes a national network of university-based interdisciplinary programs, known as University Centers for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities (UCEDDs).
UCEDDs work toward a shared vision that foresees a nation in which all Americans, including Americans with disabilities, participate fully in their communities. Independence, productivity, and community inclusion are key components of this vision.
Currently, there are 67 UCEDDs-at least one in every US state and territory-that are in a unique position to facilitate the flow of disability-related information between a community and the university. Centers work with people with disabilities, members of their families, state and local government agencies, and community providers in projects that provide training, technical assistance, service, research, and information sharing with a focus on building the capacity of communities to sustain all their citizens.
