Mission Statement
The Center on Postsecondary Education and Disability (CPED) is committed to promoting equal postsecondary educational opportunity for adolescents and adults with disabilities. Our mission is to educate and support pre-professionals and professionals in acquiring evidence-based knowledge and skills to provide state-of-the-art practices in services for students with disabilities. Two topics in which we address this mission are transition and the use of Universal Design for Instruction. Our primary emphases are research and training to build the capacity of professionals and to enhance the field of postsecondary education and disability. We achieve this through graduate courses and degree programs, outreach, professional training institutes and initiatives, conference presentations, research, and information dissemination.
