by University of Minnesota — Institute on Community Integration
Established in December 2015 with U.S. Department of Education funding, the National Center for College Students with Disabilities (NCCSD) is based at the Institute on Community Integration at the University of Minnesota and closely partners with AHEAD. It is one of the few federally funded centres specifically addressing all disability types in the higher education context.
NCCSD maintains a Resource Clearinghouse with publications on accommodation, self-advocacy, mental health, and career transition; the CeDaR database of disability resource offices at nearly every degree-granting US college and university; and a Training Centre with on-demand mini-courses and webinars. It also supports the DREAM national peer-mentoring network and distributes a weekly newsletter on disability in higher education.
