Nevada Center for Excellence in Disabilities
Project Description:
The mission of the NCED is to cooperatively work with consumers, agencies, and programs to assist Nevadans with developmental disabilities of all ages to be independent and productive citizens who are included in their communities. This mission is accomplished by providing interdisciplinary training, offering model exemplary services, conducting interdisciplinary evaluation, disseminating information on developmental disabilities and service options, providing technical assistance, and conducting relevant research and evaluation studies. The NCED is a statewide program that works with a variety of state agencies, organizations, and university departments on disability issues. There is a strong emphasis on partnerships and an expectation from the funding agency that each NCED use the federal funds to leverage additional funding from state, federal, and private sources for related projects.
