IU's Institute for the Study of Developmental Disabilities, based in Bloomington, has a new name: the Indiana Institute on Disability and Community. For nearly four decades, the institute has been involved in disability and community issues with a mission to improve the lives of people with disabilities in typical community settings. Founded in 1970 as the Mental Retardation Developmental Training Center, IU received funds under the 1963 Developmental Disabilities Construction Act to establish a service and training program in mental retardation. Since then, the institute has expanded and changed its focus in response to the needs of Hoosiers with disabilities, their families and the professionals who assist them.
