Partnership for People with Disabilities Core Grant
Project Description:
The Partnership for People with Disabilities partners with people with disabilities and others to build communities where all people can live, learn, work, and play together. We provide interdisciplinary preservice training, promote community services through training and technical assistance, conduct research and analysis of public policy, and disseminate information.
