Welcome to the University Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities (UCEDD) at Georgetown University. The mission of the Georgetown University Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities is to advance self-determination among the diversity of people with developmental and other disabilities and their families, throughout the life course, and advocate for their full participation in all aspects of community life.

COVID-19

The GUCEDD continues to work to educate and encourage people with disabilities to get their COVID-19 vaccines. Access the GUCEDD COVID-19 vaccine project page. Another recommended resource is the Administration for Community Living (ACL)which keeps up-to-date COVID-19 information. The page describes actions that everyone can take to prevent the spread of COVID-19, frequently asked questions on several programs for disabled and older Americans, guidance on home and community based services and nursing home visitation, guidance for organizations to prepare for an outbreak, and a link to a Spanish-language version. ACL will continue to update this page as new guidance on prevention, testing, and treatment is issued. Individuals can also subscribe to ACL Updates for email alerts of new information.
