Stacy explained that it’s important for caregivers to be able to connect with other caregivers, who understand what they’re really going through.

Thank you to Ben Conley and The Dominion Post for their story about the proposed funding elimination for University Centers for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities (UCEDDs) and other important disability services in the state!

"The WVU Center for Excellence in Disabilities has been the foundation for developing, testing and sustaining evidence-based trainings and services that help West Virginians with disabilities achieve independence and a better quality of life — building a support system that the community and state depend on, " WVU CED Director Lesley Cottrell said.

In addition to the services, loss of funding would eliminate 96 jobs and likely eliminate more than $11 million in additional funding leveraged through the federal allocation.
