Center marks 25 years of disability research
The Research and Training Center on Independent Living celebrated its 25 year anniversary as an organization at the University on Saturday.
The center does research to improve the day-to-day lives of people with disabilities, said Glen White, director of the center. Problems usually arise because of the environment people with disabilities live in, White said.
"If things aren't working, we try to change the system," he said.
In 1980, James Budde, along with other members of the KU community, won a grant from the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research, allowing Budde to establish the center at the University. Budde directed the program for 22 years until he retired in 2002. White took his place.
On Saturday the center hosted a public panel discussion in celebration of the anniversary. White said the panel discussed the center's history,
the scientists who have contributed to research policy and programs on a national level and what the next 25 years would be like.
Next for the center is a professional seminar this Friday afternoon from 3:30 to 5:00 at 2092 Dole. White said he would present ideas for disaster preparation and emergency response for people with disabilities.
Thirty sites were selected as disaster areas to research disaster preparation and response for people with disabilities. Five of those sites were in the gulf region and three of those sites were directly hit by hurricanes.
White said the presentation would be based on a grant given three years ago from the institute.
"These are some timely issues,"White said. "There is not much research in the area of disasters, so we are trying to bring these things to the forefront"
