The dedicated faculty and staff of the Carolina Institute for Developmental Disabilities depend on private financial support to advance our mission to provide world class services, research, and training for individuals with developmental disabilities and their families.

At the heart of the Institute’s success in producing leading programs for persons with developmental disabilities for over 30 years is a set of key program values that guide faculty, students, and alumni:

• Exemplary Teaching: To produce excellent clinicians, practitioners, and researchers who are prepared to provide leadership to their disciplines and their future work settings.
  
  
• Innovative Research: To conduct research and generate new knowledge that will inform future practice and policy in developmental disabilities.
  
  
• Patient-Centered Clinical Practice: To advance the art and science of clinical practice with a focus on patient outcomes and quality of life.

Making a gift will help meet the increasing needs of our faculty, patients, and programs that are not fully state-supported. We greatly appreciate your ongoing support.
