Historical Note

In 1995 the Child Development and Mental Retardation Center took on the new title of Center on Human Development and Disability. CHDD is one of the nation's largest and most comprehensive interdisciplinary research and training centers focusing on a wide array of developmental disabilities. More than 600 University of Washington faculty and staff members, as well as numerous doctoral and post-doctoral students, provide clinical services, interdisciplinary clinical and research training, and technical assistance and outreach training to community practitioners and community agencies. CHDD scientists and clinicians also conduct basic and applied research to generate new knowledge and disseminate information widely.

The CHDD continues to encompasses two major programs, the Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities Research Center (MRDDR), which focuses on research, and the University Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities (UCEDD), which focuses on clinical services, training and community outreach. More than 100 University of Washington faculty members from a variety of biomedical and behavioral disciplines are research affiliates in the MRDDRC. They work in interdisciplinary collaborations to address developmental disabilities from a broad perspective encompassing genetic factors, neurobiological processes and behavior. They also collaborate in designing intervention strategies to prevent developmental disabilities and minimize their impact when they do occur.

The UCEDD trains professionals within an interdisciplinary framework to meet the needs of people with disabilities, provide clinical services and model projects, reach out to the community with technical assistance and training, conduct applied research, and disseminate information widely. The UCEDD at the University of Washington is part of the Association of University Centers on Disabilities (AUCD). The centers were established in response to legislation signed into law in 1963, creating a nationwide network of university-based interdisciplinary training models focused on the needs of persons with developmental disabilities. There are 61 UCEs, located in every state and U.S. territory.
