Welcome
The mission of the Tarjan Center is to provide leadership in education, research and innovative practices that supports the quality of life and community inclusion of all people with disabilities. The Tarjan Center serves as a bridge between the university and persons with disabilities from state, regional and local communities, state and local government agencies and community providers.
  • Collaborate with individuals with disabilities, agencies and policymakers in order to be responsive to the needs of people with disabilities in the areas of education, employment, mental health, health, volunteerism and the arts;
  • Examine the impact of national and state policies on people with disabilities and their families;
  • Expand the arts and cultural community’s capacity to include audiences with disabilities and support the professional development of artists with disabilities;
  • Facilitate the active engagement of people with disabilities in national service and volunteerism;
  • Promote organizational practices and policies for postsecondary education and students with developmental disabilities and autism; and
  • Provide clinical services that address the health and mental health needs of children, youth and adults with developmental disabilities.
