Association of University Centers on Disabilities

The Association of University Centers on Disabilities (AUCD) is a membership organization that supports and promotes a national network of university-based interdisciplinary programs. Network members consist of:

• 67 University Centers for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities (UCEDD)
• 60 Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental Disabilities (LEND) programs
• 16 Eunice Kennedy Shriver Intellectual and Developmental Disability Research Centers (IDDRC)
• 12 Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics Training Program (DBP)
  (non-members who receive TA)

These programs serve and are located in every U.S. state and territory and are all part of universities or medical centers. They serve as a bridge between the university and the community, bringing together the resources of both to achieve meaningful change.

AUCD supports this national network through:

• Leadership on major social problems affecting all people living with developmental or other disabilities or special health needs
• Advocacy with Congress and executive branch agencies that fund and regulate programs used by people with disabilities
• Networking and partnering with other national organizations to advance the network's national agendas
• Promoting communication within the network and with other groups by collecting, organizing, and disseminating data on network activities and accomplishments
• Technical assistance provision on a broad range of topics
