This document delves into the evolution of accountability within the University Centers for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities (UCEDD) from 1963 to 2009. It emphasizes the partnership model where both the Administration on Developmental Disabilities (ADD) and UCEDD share responsibilities towards funding sources such as ADD, MCH, and NIH. The transition from a deficit model to a proactive, strengths-based approach highlights the importance of quality enhancement. Recommendations are provided for improving partnerships, program criteria, site visits, technical assistance, and increasing consumer and family involvement.
