2012
CALENDAR
www.iod.unh.edu
The Institute on Disability (IOD) at the University of New Hampshire welcomes
2012 with its annual outreach calendar, highlighting a shared commitment to
community, diversity, and inclusion.
We are excited to feature original works of art by 12 talented artists who are
connected to our mission. Continuing with our 12-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 wish you well in 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; a future where
culturally appropriate supports are available across the life span to individuals
and families that lead to self-determination and satisfying quality of life.
MISSION
The IOD strengthens communities to ensure 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, is the flagship for
New Hampshire’s University Center for Excellence on Disability (UCED).
Centers work with people with disabilities, members of their families, state
and local government agencies, and community providers in projects that
provide training, technical assistance, service, research, and information
sharing, with a focus on building the capacity of communities to sustain all
their citizens.
For more information about the IOD, visit www.iod.unh.edu. To order
additional calendars or to preview our comprehensive catalog of resources
that support community inclusion and individual excellence, visit the IOD
Bookstore online at www.iodbookstore.com or call (800) 378-0386.
Let’s trade in all our judging for appreciating.
Let’s lay down our righteousness and just be together.

Health and Health Care Disparities Among Individuals with Disabilities Project
10 West Edge Drive, Suite 101 | Durham, NH 03824
603.862.1084 | www.iod.unh.edu
The goal of the Health Disparities Project is to generate new knowledge about health care access and health
outcome disparities experienced by people with different types of disabilities and translate and disseminate these
findings for researchers, policy makers, and others. A growing body of research has documented that persons with
disabilities are more likely to experience health disparities compared to the general population; this grant helps
to extend this research to disparities experienced by people with different types of disabilities. Funding for the
project is from the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research, U.S. Department of Education.

Let’s trade in all our judging for appreciating.
Let’s lay down our righteousness and just be together.
Ram Dass
Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming,
we lose the excitement of possibilities.
Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning.
No matter what may be your lot in life, build something on it.
