UMass Boston

The ICI at UMass Boston is a research and training institute the supports the rights of children and adults with disabilities to participate in all aspects of society. We do this through training, research, consultation, and clinical services. Our projects advance opportunities for people with disabilities throughout New England, across the United States, and internationally.

The ICI is a program of UMass Boston and Boston Children’s Hospital. We are part of the national network of University Centers for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities.

Some of our key projects include:

• Think College: College options for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities
• ExploreVR: A data hub for research related to vocational rehabilitation
• The LEND Program at Boston Children's Hospital: Training health professionals and families to support children and youth with developmental disabilities

These are only a small sample of our work. Visit our website and follow us on Facebook, X, and on Instagram to learn more about what we do.
