The UCEDD network has the capacity to reduce disparities, improve outcomes, and promote a more equitable, diverse, and inclusive society for individuals with developmental disabilities and their families from historically underserved groups. The Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (ED&I) Action Plan identifies four areas of focus with objectives and action steps for network members to address: (1) workforce diversity, (2) cultural and linguistic competence, (3) state/local impact, and (4) crosscutting considerations that apply to all efforts.

Resources to support implementation of each of the action steps of the Action plan are included under Areas, Objectives, & Action Steps and are continually being updated.

If you have a resource that you think is helpful for implementing any of the action steps of this plan that we could add to this toolkit, please email implementdiversity@aucd.org.
