Research and Training Center on Promoting Interventions for Community Living
RTC/PICL investigates the effectiveness of evidence-based interventions that modify home environments and enhance the personal skills of people with disabilities as a way to increase their community participation.
This project is designed to help community college students with disabilities request the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accommodations they need to succeed in their post-secondary experiences.

We are partnering with two other KU disability research centers to improve the health of individuals with disabilities by increasing access to programs and removing barriers to services designed to promote healthy living.
