Welcome to the Center for Disabilities Studies

The mission of the Center for Disabilities Studies is to enhance the lives of individuals and families in Delaware through education, prevention, service, and research related to disabilities. We promote independence and productivity so individuals and families can fully participate in the life of the community.

As a research and public service center at the University of Delaware, the Center for Disabilities Studies relies on public and private support from individuals, corporations, foundations and state and federal entities to operate its programs.  All gifts to the Center for Disabilities Studies are tax deductible to the extent provided by law.

Help fulfill our mission

Our activities are separated into initiatives by age group: Early Childhood, School Age, and Adults. We also provide Community Education, University Education, and Research and Evaluation crossing the three main initiative areas. More about CDS >>
