Mission
The mission of the Council for Interdisciplinary Service is to help meet the special needs, problems, and potential of persons with mental retardation or other developmental disabilities by:
- Providing a forum and other resources for collectively examining and advancing the interdisciplinary mission and program of training, service, research, and community program development.
- Defining and promoting the concept of interdisciplinary in training, service, research, and community program development.
- Advising the AUCD Board of Directors on matters pertaining to interdisciplinary practice in training, service, research, and community program development.
The Council for Interdisciplinary Service is unique among councils of AUCD in that the membership of the Council for Interdisciplinary Service consists of representatives from disciplines within University Centers for Excellence in Developmental Disabilties.
Membership
The Council for Interdisciplinary Service shall be composed of representatives from each University Center for Excellence in good standing, designated by that Center Director as "The Interdisciplinary Exemplary Service Director". If no such position exists, a designee who best represents the overall interdisciplinary service interests of that Center shall be designated to the Council by the Program Director. The delegate will be a member of the CIS for as long as they hold the position of the Interdisciplinary Exemplary Service Director at the home Center or as long as they are the designee.
