Community Advisory Committee (CAC)

The UCCEDD Community Advisory Committee (CAC) guides the UCCEDD and helps to create and move toward its vision. UCCEDD’s CAC consists of members representing individuals with disabilities, family members, community and health professionals, faculty, and DD network partners. CAC members give their ideas for how the UCCEDD can help people with disabilities and their families have the lives they want.
