Center for Disabilities Studies : Publications: delAware Newsletter & Research Brief
The Center for Disabilities Studies' delAware is a newsletter for people with disabilities, their families and the professionals who support them; it is published up to two times each year. Each issue focuses on a topic relating to disabilities and highlights the work CDS is doing to support the well-being, inclusion and empowerment of people with disabilities and their families. The newsletter is distributed to more than 3,000 individuals, families, legislators, policy makers and professionals.
In past years, CDS published delAware: A Research Brief, which highlighted research efforts related to supporting individuals with disabilities in the community. This website includes both the current and past issues of delAware and delAware: A Research Brief.
