Research Related to People with Disabilities |
|
| When the Kennedy Foundation was established, there were no facilities with any degree
of excellence for the study of intellectual disabilities. Over the past thirty years, beginning
with the establishment of Kennedy Centers for improved diagnosis and
treatment of intellectual disabilities in Brighton, MA and Santa
Monica, CA; research, training, and clinical centers have been
established with the encouragement and support of the Kennedy Foundation at
Johns Hopkins University, Harvard University, Stanford University,
University of Wisconsin,
University of Chicago, George Peabody College
(now Vanderbilt University), Einstein College of Medicine, the University
of Colorado, and the University of Miami.
These basic and clinical research centers have developed many advanced diagnostic and treatment protocols. Treatments for different disabilities have been studied including ones for Downs Syndrome, AIDS, fetal cocaine exposure, and brain asphyxia. |
