The Institute of Disability and Human Development

IDHD is unique in that it is one of the only UCEDDs that is also an academic department. It is through the Department of Disability and Human Development (DHD) that the Illinois UCEDD offers much of its pre-service training activities. IDHD/DHD is home to the Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental and Related Disabilities (LEND) program for the State of Illinois. An internationally recognized center for the study of disabilities, IDHD/DHD conducts scholarship and community-based service across the spectrum of disability, including advocacy, culture, education, health promotion, history, policy, and technology.
