Announcements
Native Center for Disabilities
The University of Arizona Sonoran Center for Excellence in Disabilities is proud to announce new initiatives to address unmet needs for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in tribal communities across Arizona. Read more about it in the Native Center for Disabilities flyer.
Stronger Together
When the Sonoran Center for Excellence in Disabilities enters into a partnership with another organization, we strive to ensure that everything is done in the spirit of collaboration. Rather than imposing our own ideas of what works, we keep communication open at every opportunity so that our partners can best inform us of what they need, and we can work towards a solution together. Please visit the Sonoran Center for Excellence in Disabilities website to learn more about this partnership.
