The Coleman Institute
The Coleman Institute
UCCS has a very special relationship with the ColemanInstitute for Cognitive Disabilities (CICD). In addition to participation in grants and fellowship programs and the annual conference sponsored by the institute, UCCS faculty, and graduate students have enjoyed regular personal conversations with the Institute administrators and founders. These conversations have explored the intersections of aging and disabilities work, partnerships for faculty and students in working with persons with cognitive disabilities across the lifespan, opportunities for careers of emerging scholars, and public-private partnerships to develop and test technologies that engage persons with cognitive disabilities in maximizing personal autonomy and person-directed care.
