A Note From the Director

2024 marked a transformative period for our organization. This year, our hard work culminated in record-breaking achievements, including: 

  • Providing over 13,400 hours of technical assistance
  • Welcoming more than 11,000 participants to our events
  • Contributing 25 peer-reviewed articles to the field
  • Securing $16.4 million in funding through grants, gifts, consulting and contracts

Beyond the numbers, our commitment to meeting the critical needs of our state led to the launch of innovative programs that embody our dedication to addressing pressing challenges with forward-thinking solutions. The year 2024 also brought exciting changes in leadership as I stepped into the role of director. Together, we unveiled a refreshed mission to guide our path forward: Advancing disability inclusion through research, education, and collaboration.

I invite you to read on and celebrate the stories, milestones and innovations that have defined this year. Thank you for your partnership in advancing our shared vision. Our work wouldn’t be possible without you. 

Sincerely,
Andrew Houtenville
Director, Institute on Disability
