Thank you to the Developmental Disabilities Network Journal for its peer‑reviewed article, “Building Capacity and Inspiring Change: The Impact of Louisiana’s UCEDD Across the Lifespan” that highlights how HDC strengthens inclusion, independence, and opportunity for people with disabilities—from early childhood through adulthood. It showcases HDC’s leadership in early childhood inclusion, educator and workforce development, transition supports, sensory disability services, prevention initiatives, and emerging interdisciplinary clinics.
