The CIC has been successfully operating as a partnership between the two UBC Schools of Social Work, community living organizations, government, and supporters since 2009.
We are committed to research, learning, and knowledge exchange to positively impact the lives of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families locally, nationally, and globally.
We are at the forefront of building Canada’s capacity in the field of intellectual and developmental disabilities research. To date, our research, learning, and knowledge activities have engaged people from every province and territory in Canada, and we have facilitated knowledge exchange with individuals, families, academics, and experts from 44 universities in 18 countries.
