Shriver Center Spotlight UCEDD Newsletter

The Shriver Center Spotlight is published biannually by the UMass Medical School/E.K. Shriver University Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities (UCEDD). 

Each issue of the Shriver Center Spotlight highlights the UCEDD’s research, community initiatives, disability education and training efforts, and related resources, information and news.  We hope the Shriver Center Spotlight will appeal to a wide audience of individuals, family members, professionals, community organizations, state agencies, university centers, and others interested in the developmental disabilities field.
