Native American Developmental Disabilities Needs Assessment

Monday, October 1, 2012

The Sonoran University Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities (UCEDD) at the University of Arizona, in conjunction with the Native American Research and Training Center (NARTC), performed a needs assessment of selected American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/AN) in the spring and summer of 2011. The purpose of the project was to provide Commissioner Sharon Lewis, Administration on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (AIDD), with a snapshot of the AI/AN experience with DD in selected Tribal and urban American Indian communities. Specifically, the report provides information about the availability of services and support for individuals with developmental disabilities (DD) and their families, the needs of DD tribal members and their families, and tribal members' familiarity and contact with the DD Network agencies.
