President's Budget

The President’s budget proposes getting rid of University Centers for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities (UCEDDs). The Administration wants to combine the work of the UCEDDs with the work of a few other disability programs to make the Independent Living Program do that work. It is now up to Congress to decide how much money is given to important programs like UCEDDs.

Action Alert - Use AUCD’s messaging guide to contact Members of Congress and state elected officials to tell them why UCEDDs are so important for people with disabilities and their families all across the country.
