The Disabilities Leadership Council also plans to regularly feature organizations on our blog that provide help to families and individuals with disabilities. Today, we're focusing on the Douglass Developmental Disabilities Center at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, NJ. The center provides a wide array of services, including school programs, adult and transitional services, outreach services, and research and training. Also provided are examination services for individuals with ASD and other developmental disabilities.
The DDDC also is highly active in scientific research on developmental disabilities. As a part of Rutgers University, the center has access to all the resources of a major research university, and is staffed by an expert research faculty. Both undergraduate and graduate university students conduct research as well. This work is instrumental to advancing the goals of the Disabilities Leadership Council, as it trains the next generation of doctors and scientists in the field of developmental disabilities. Hopefully, through the DDDC and other similar institutions, new scientific solutions can be found to help those with ASD and other similar disabilities.
More information on the Douglass Developmental Disabilities Center, including how to take advantage of their services and how to get involved in opportunities for work and research there, is available on their website at http://dddc.rutgers.edu.
