Project and Programs Across Areas of Focus

Planning and Policy

The Center for Planning and Policy Studies serves as a resource for disability planning for state and community organizations and conducts studies to inform policy issues that affect people with disabilities. The Center accomplishes this by facilitating collaborative planning events and by advocating policies that result in full participation of people with disabilities in community life.

The Institute serves as designated fiscal agent for ADA-Indiana, Indiana’s State ADA
Steering Committee for implementation of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
ADA-Indiana is one of six state steering committees funded by the Great Lakes ADA and Accessible IT Center (DBTAC). ADA- Indiana serves as a centralized and
statewide vehicle through which all those interested in promoting the implementation of the Americans with Disabilities Act provide direction throughout the state.

The IPAS Customer Satisfaction Study provides for a year-long series of
interviews of former service recipients of Indiana’s Protection and Advocacy Services to identify levels of consumer satisfaction with the agency’s services and outcomes as a result of those services.

Indiana’s Accessible Education-Related Information Technology Project, funded by the Great Lakes Center and the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR), provides training, technical assistance, and policy research designed to promote the use of accessible education-related information technology to Indiana’s institutions of higher education and other identified post-secondary systems.
