Description
  • The Rehabilitation Research and Training Center on Aging with Developmental Disabilities (RRTCADD) promotes the successful aging of adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) in response to physical, cognitive, and environmental changes.

    Its coordinated research, training, and dissemination activities promote progressive policies and supports to maintain health and function, self-determination, independence, and active engagement in life. The RRTCADD is a national resource for researchers, people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, their families, service providers, policy makers, advocacy groups, students, and the general community.

    The RRTCADD is committed to Participatory Action Research. Its active consumer and family advisors and its national advisory board of major disability, aging, and advocacy organizations help insure that the RRTCADD�s research is relevant and is responsive to culturally diverse populations.
