Disability Support Center for Families – Utah State 

University 

“Individuals with developmental disabilities have a need 

for a wide range of services and supports in order to 

engage in activities of daily living. Many human service 

systems address primarily only one need, such as 

health, education, or employment. These systems 

usually focus on the individual, and not the person's 

family. With the right combination of services and 

supports, individuals with developmental disabilities and 

their families can meet their needs and help the 

individual to participate in the full range of community

life. The Center for Persons with Disabilities (CPD) at 

Utah State University, in partnership with the state 

Division of Services for People with Disabilities were 

designated by then Governor Olene Walker as the lead 

agencies for the Family Support 360 Implementation 

Proposal (CFDA: 93.631) in Utah. The families living on 

the west side of Salt Lake City, Utah are generally 

underserved by the existing formal service systems and
