In this episode, Dr. Chris Murray from the University of Oregon’s UCEDD shares how decades of research, training, and deep community engagement have helped shape better outcomes for people with disabilities.

Topics Include:

- Overview of the Oregon UCEDD and their focus on early intervention and paraeducators

- How UCEDDs adapt to the needs of the community

- The critical value of UCEDD funding in Oregon and nationally

- The challenge of self-promotion in advocacy

- Balance between systems change and individual supports

- Why empathy must be backed by ongoing action


**A quick note: As of this recording, Congress is still in the appropriations process, and funding for UCEDDs is at risk. You can help protect the future of disability services, research, and training by contacting your members of Congress today.
