Welcome!

The NCCSD is the only federally-funded national center in the U.S. that was established to provide technical assistance to students with any type of disability of any age in any type of program. We do research and provide information and resources to anyone in the U.S. who has a question about disability and higher education or attending postsecondary education, which includes Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs. We also work with families, K-12 educators, state transition coordinators, Vocational Rehabilitation counselors, and staff and faculty in higher education. Policymakers are also welcome to contact us.
