Research Projects and Training Grants

At KUCD, we conduct research, evaluation, and public policy analysis in areas that affect or could affect people with disabilities and their families. Our research focuses on self-determination, early childhood education, transitions from school to adulthood, employment, supported decision-making, and quality of life. Research efforts are supported by high quality data validation and analysis services provided by our center's Data Science team.
