Welcome

The UCLA Tarjan Center is a University Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities (UCEDD). We are one of 67 federally designated UCEDDs across the country. These centers are authorized by the Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act and funded by the Administration on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (AIDD), part of the Administration on Community Living within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. We serve as a bridge between the resources of the university and local, state, and international organizations, agencies, policy makers, people with disabilities and their families.
