Network Products and Activities
Network Activities
Members of the AUCD Network engage in a wide variety of activities daily as they work to promote inclusion, justice, health, and respect for all people with disabilities. For data collection purposes, their activities are grouped into three main categories: technical assistance (helping people finding resources and answers), continuing education (teaching), and diagnostic services (clinical medical and research activities).
In FY24, over 513,00 people and organizations received technical assistance from AUCD members, over 965,000 people received continuing education, and over 177,000 families received clinical services such as diagnostic evaluations for developmental disabilities, therapies, and more.
Network Products
One of the strategic goals of AUCD is to conduct and apply research and share knowledge. Collectively, AUCD Network member Centers and Programs produced over 13,900 expert products each year, including newsletters, books and book chapters, conference presentations, academic and online courses, fact sheets, and press communications. These items reach tens of millions of people, educating them on evidence-based information and guiding them to resources available for people with disabilities and their families. | These items reach tens of millions of people, educating them on evidence-based information and guiding them to resources available for people with disabilities and their families.
