Welcome to Sherlock Center Community Networks

We are glad you are here!

Paul V. Sherlock Center on Disabilities was established in 1993 at Rhode Island College. As the University Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities, or UCEDD, for our state, we work to enhance the lives of individuals with disabilities, their families and their communities.

Our approach is rooted in evidence-based practices aimed at improving health, education, social connections and economic well-being. Collaborating with individuals with disabilities and their families, local and state government agencies, and community organizations, we provide information, training, technical assistance, services and research.
