The Institute on Disability (IOD) at the University of New Hampshire welcomes 2009 with its annual outreach calendar, highlighting
New Hampshire’s dedication to community, diversity, and inclusion.
We are excited to feature original works of art by 13 talented artists from all over the country who are connected to our mission.
Continuing with our nine-year tradition, each work of art has been coupled with an inspirational quote that reflects the values of the
IOD. In addition, every month features sponsoring programs and organizations that share in our commitment to creating more inclusive communities for people with disabilities and their families.
The staff at the Institute would like to thank all those who helped make this calendar possible, particularly those artists who generously contributed their visions for social equality. We would also like to extend our deepest gratitude to all our sponsors, both returning and new.
We hope you enjoy the New Year and thank you for celebrating it with us.
Warmest Wishes,
The Institute on Disability Staff

The Institute on Disability/UCED (IOD) at the University of New Hampshire was established in 1987 to provide a coherent university-based focus for the improvement of knowledge, policies, and practices related to the lives of persons with disabilities and their families.
VISION
The IOD envisions a future where all persons, including those living with disabilities, are fully engaged members of communities. We envision a future where culturally appropriate supports are available across the life span to individuals and families, and that those supports lead to independence, productivity, and a satisfying quality of life.
MISSION
The IOD advances policies and systems changes, promising practices, education, and research that strengthens communities and ensures full access, equal opportunities, and participation for all persons.
VALUES
The IOD values the participation of people with disabilities, the community, family members, and a culturally diverse membership in its governance and research, teaching, and service activities. The IOD works to advance principles of choice, family and consumer-directed supports, community inclusion, and cultural competence throughout the life span.
UNIVERSITY CENTER FOR EXCELLENCE ON DISABILITY (UCED)
The Institute on Disability is a member of the Association of University Centers in
Disabilities (AUCD), a network of 67 university-based Centers located in every state and territory in the United States. The IOD, working with the Division of Genetics and Child
Development at Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth and the Department of Pediatrics at
Dartmouth Medical School; the Institute for Health, Law, and Ethics at Franklin Pierce
Law Center; and the Center for Community Economic Development and Disabilities
(CCEDD) at Southern New Hampshire University, is the flagship for New Hampshire’s
University Center for Excellence on Disability (UCED).
These institutions work closely with local and state agencies to advance policies and practices that improve the quality of life for children and adults with disabilities and their families.
