Home The Bureau of Mental Retardation has the primary responsibility for the development and implementation of services to meet the needs of individuals with mental retardation/developmental disabilities. This public service delivery system is comprised of five state-operated comprehensive regional centers for individuals with mental retardation/developmental disabilities, a state-operated facility for youth who require specialized treatment and have mental retardation/developmental disabilities, 15 regional community mental health/mental retardation centers , and other nonprofit community agencies/organizations that provide community services. The concept of making available comprehensive services on a regional basis offers a high degree of local input into program development. At the same time, this operational philosophy facilitates departmental supervision and monitoring of activities to assure best practices of service development and delivery. The concept also assures proactive implementation of the philosophy of quality residential and community care within a comprehensive service continuum. The State Plan for Services and Supports for Individuals with Mental Retardation/ Developmental Disabilities is developed annually by the Bureau of Mental Retardation in conjunction with the BMR State Plan Advisory Council. The plan guides the Bureau of Mental Retardation in developing, implementing, and maintaining a comprehensive system of services and supports.

156. CHDD OUTLOOK 9.1 (story 1) Center's New Name at the University of Washington s Center on Human Development and Disability (CHDD), formerly called the Child Development and mental retardation Center (CDMRC http://depts.washington.edu/chdd/OUTLOOK/OUTLOOK9.1/STY1Name.html

New name is a better fit for Center's growing program The name has changed, but making a positive contribution to the lives of people with developmental disabilities and their families remains foremost at the University of Washington's Center on Human Development and Disability (CHDD), formerly called the Child Development and Mental Retardation Center (CDMRC). Research at the CHDD, like the other Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities Research Centers (MRDDRCs) around the nation, was originally directed at studying the underlying causes of mental retardation. "Mental retardation was the prototype developmental disability when the centers were established, but interest has broadened to include a wide array of developmental disabilities," Guralnick points out. Nearly 130 CHDD research affiliates in the Center's MRDDRC collaborate on studies of biomedical and behavioral processes that cause or are associated with developmental disabilities. Affiliates work within six major areas of research to understand normal and abnormal human development. Research affiliates in the Teratology Program are investigating the mechanisms that lead to congenital defects when pregnant women are exposed to certain drugs and chemicals. Affiliates in the Developmental and Molecular Genetics Program are studying genetic factors that account for a large number of developmental disabilities and investigating prospects for gene therapy. CHDD research affiliates in the Perinatal Biology Program are learning about the causes and outcomes of premature births. They are also studying ways to prevent preterm births and seeking to determine the best treatments for infants born prematurely.
