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
Extractions: 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.
