Indian Children's Program services are provided by a consortium of three University Centers of Excellence in Developmental Disabilities (UCEDD). These centers are part of a national network of university-based centers supported by both federal and state funding focusing on the research, training, and innovative service needs of people with disabilities. Each center is organized as a part of their home university with a mission which addresses the objectives of ICP. The three centers are located in state universities which encompass the catchment area of ICP services: The Center for Persons with Disabilities at Utah State University, Logan, Utah [www.cpd.usu.edu]; the Institute for Human Development at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, Arizona; and the Center for Development and Disability at the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, New Mexico. Each center in the consortium is a multi-faceted research, training, and service center which focuses on the needs of families that have children with special needs. Core support for these centers is supplied by the Administration on Developmental Disabilities and through state resources, and each center seeks external funding through grants and contracts to provide funds for training, research, technical assistance, and exemplary services consistent with their mission and purpose. Each center in the consortium is an academic unit within a comprehensive state university system in which personnel, accounting, and internal program reviews provide fiscal and programmatic accountability. The home university provides access to a wide variety of expert resources, student training opportunities, technical resources, as well as a variety of other university programmatic and logistic resources.
