Core Functions (Need Something Better for the Title)
Core functions include:
- Professional Training
- Technical Assistance and Outreach Training
- Clinical Services
- Research and Evaluation
- Information Development and Dissemination
Each project can have multiple core functions although most tend to have only one. These core functions are consistent with the organizational framework of the Administration on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (our core federal funding agency for the UCEDD).
Professional Training
Professional Training: Providing interdisciplinary clinical and didactic training to students (primarily graduate and post-graduate) enrolled in an academic program at the UW and other academic institutions. Training experiences prepare students to provide interdisciplinary and comprehensive services and supports to individuals with developmental disabilities in the community, and often serve to meet the requirements for their degree program.
Technical Assistance and Outreach Training
Technical Assistance and Outreach Training: Technical assistance takes the form of direct problem-solving services provided by UCEDD faculty and staff to assist individuals, programs, and agencies in improving their services, management, and/or policies. Outreach training increases awareness and builds capacity of paraprofessionals and professionals through training opportunities (e.g., workshops, continuing education programs) so they are better able to serve individuals with developmental disabilities in the community.
Clinical Services
Clinical Services: Includes a variety of clinical services provided to individuals with disabilities or those at risk for disabilities and their families.
- IHDD Clinics: IHDD operates a range of on-site clinical service programs that serve individuals, primarily children, with or at risk for developmental, learning, and behavioral problems.
- Community-Based Clinics: UCEDD faculty and staff extend their clinical services by serving clients at community-based clinics and programs.
Research and Evaluation
Research and Evaluation: Includes applied research and evaluation, as well as the analysis of public policy in areas relevant to the field of developmental disabilities.
Information Development and Dissemination
Information Development and Dissemination: Involves the development, organization, and dissemination of information, including professional publications and products for increasing public awareness, building capacity, and expanding research and practice knowledge within the field of developmental disabilities.
