Institute on Community Integration

The Institute on Community Integration pushes the edge of inclusion through an intensive focus on policies and practices that affect children, youth, and adults with disabilities, and those receiving educational supports. ICI’s collaborative research, training, and information-sharing ensure that people with disabilities are valued by, included in, and contribute to their communities of choice throughout their lifetime. ICI works with service providers, policymakers, educators, employers, advocacy organizations, researchers, families, community members, and individuals with disabilities around the world, building communities that are inclusive. It is a federally-designated University Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities, part of a national network of similar programs in major universities and teaching hospitals across the country. It is home to over 70 projects and six Affiliated Centers. See collections for its National Center on Educational Outcomes (NCEO) and National Center on Secondary Education and Transition (NCSET).
