To know if the AUCD network is improving practices in diversity, inclusion, and cultural and linguistic competence, established guidance should be followed and progress measured. Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the 2000 Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act, and other key pieces of federal legislation all address access and rights of people with disabilities and people of diverse backgrounds. Compliance with these guidelines is critical.
