4.01 CDD Dissemination Strategies
Project Description:
4.01 Dissemination Strategies
Utilize the Center's website, electronic newsletters and social networking strategies, and Center publications and presentations, to disseminate activities, findings, information, and products.
The CDD website is the primary tool for disseminating information. The website provides access to information about all of the CDD's projects, activities, products as well as events. The website is updated weekly and is 508 compliant. The website also houses a web-based comprehensive list of statewide resources and community services available to individuals with disabilities and their families. It functions as a web-based collaborative tool, much like the popular Wikipedia. The CDD is also engaged in social networking strategies to build communication avenues to further information dissemination efforts.
