UCEDDs across the country conduct needs assessments and other information gathering to inform and evaluate their work. Hearing from people with diverse abilities across their states is crucial for UCEDDs to pursue activities responsive to the needs of all people with disabilities and families. This webinar presented strategies for more inclusive evaluations and assessments from a UCEDD implementing these strategies. The webinar also included a presentation on the values and tools from person-centered planning that can inform inclusive information-gathering.
