5c-1 Website & Social Media
Project Description:
CEDD/MIND Websites
CEDD provides online resources and materials on topics related to DD, health and wellness, environmental health, community resources, government resources, best practices, advocacy, cultural diversity, early identification and intervention, education, transition to adulthood, post-secondary education, employment, assistive technology, and other quality of life related topics. To make the information more accessible to the diverse populations of CA, our website also includes extensive Spanish language resources and some Chinese and Vietnamese translations.
CEDD has been active during the COVID-19 pandemic at working with the University to ensure accessibility of video conferencing methods, including use of closed captioning and simultaneous translation as well as e-reader compatibility. We have also begun using social networking sites, providing Facebook live presentations and outreach for example, to disseminate information more broadly. With the growth and development of the Internet and rapid changes in modes of communication, it is an ongoing task to determine how best to allocate resources among them.
