The State of the States in Developmental Disabilities Project, a longitudinal data project funded under the Projects of National Significance at ACL has moved to the University of Kansas. This project investigates revenue, spending, and programmatic trends in intellectual and developmental disability services in all 50 states, DC, and the nation as a whole.
In its 40-year history, it has produced more than 300 publications and 11 books. It has produced analyses of the impact of the Great Recession, emerging technology, and community services for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The White House recently cited a report from the project when observing the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
The project is funded by a five-year, $2 million grant from the Administration on Disabilities within the Administration for Community Living of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and joins other multiple other projects at KUCDD funded by the agency.
