The Sonoran UCEDD is committed to informing families, individuals with DD, state agencies, advocacy groups, national disability organizations, and state legislators about disability related programs, issues, and research utilizing a variety of formats and modalities. The Sonoran UCEDD is committed to ensuring its information dissemination activities are culturally competent and accessible to individuals with a wide range of disabilities. This commitment includes encouraging the full participation of individuals with developmental disabilities and their families, including those from culturally and linguistically diverse groups in our efforts.
