Community Disability Policy Initiative

Sharan E. Brown, Director, 206-685-4010

The Community Disability Policy Initiative (CDPI) was designed to bring about systematic change that increases the awareness about and opportunities for individuals with developmental disabilities. This is achieved through an ongoing dialogue between the university and the community that serves to identify issues that need further research, training, services, educational opportunities, and policy development. The CDPI also works closely with the Washington State Developmental Disabilities Council and the Washington Protection and Advocacy System.
