We are Utah’s federally designated University Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities (UCEDD), located within the Emma Eccles Jones College of Education, Health, and Human Sciences at Utah State University. IDRPP was established in 1972 by Dr. Marvin Fifield, and was the first UCEDD program in the nation to focus on the educational and social needs of children with disabilities. Over our 50-year history, the Institute has grown into one of the largest UCEDD programs in the nation and is recognized as a pioneer in research, training, technical assistance, and services for children and adults with disabilities, families, and the professionals who serve them.
We are working together to create communities where everyone can belong and contribute. We improve the lives of children and adults with disabilities and their families through sustainable innovation, collaborative research, responsive service, and interdisciplinary training and education.
Nationwide, people with disabilities experience violence at nearly four times the rate of people without disabilities. A $600,000 project will tear down barriers between victims' services and those who need them.
The world of birding is vast and varied. So is the world of disability. So how do you bring them together? Birdability Week is a good place to start.
IDRPP's Center for Mental Health Promotion and Tailored Research, Evaluation and Continuous Improvement teams lend their expertise to a Department of Defense caregiving grant.
