Project and Programs Across Areas of Focus
Age-Related Change
The Center on Aging and Community provides self-determination and social integration of aging adults with disabilities through participatory research, planning, and advocacy. The Center develops and
disseminates information and provides training and technical assistance on self-advocacy,
empowerment, adaptive housing, and the
creation of communities for all ages.
Empowerment through Knowledge/
Building Leadership Series is a five-year collaborative effort between members of the Indiana Developmental Disabilities Network to develop and pilot a statewide leadership program for individuals with
developmental disabilities focusing on
person-centered planning, choice, and self- determination and self-advocacy.
Indiana Partnership for Life Span
Communities creates a comprehensive, collaborative, and data driven initiative to create a state plan on aging that will test
the effectiveness of the AdvantAge
Initiative planning model statewide and explore the potential application of the plan nationally.
Putting Memory in Place supports an interdisciplinary conference and working
retreat that will explore the relationships
between memory and place. The potential use of new information technologies to
enable citizens to associate memory
with lost places as an aid to community and futures planning will also be
investigated.
