National Center on Disability in Public Health

Access to Healthcare

AUCD and its national network strives to support the critical role that healthcare providers play in serving everyone in the community – including people who have a disability

Developmental Monitoring and Screening

We work to increase awareness of monitoring developmental milestones. Developmental monitoring and screening identifies early signs of developmental disabilities and delays that may be related to factors like genetics or exposures like Zika, alcohol, or opioids.

Emergency Preparedness

Emergency preparedness is critical for everyone in the community – including people who have disabilities.

Nutrition and Healthy Weight

Everyone deserves access to healthy food to maintain a healthy weight. This includes people with disabilities.

Sexual and Reproductive Health

We provide resources on a wide range of topics including dating, healthy relationships, sexual orientation, and sexual health for individuals with disabilities, parents, guardians, family members, professionals, and educators.

Wellness and Mental Health

We support wellness and mental health for people with disabilities across the lifespan. Health promotion needs to include people with disabilities.
