Beach Center on Disability
Through excellence in research, training, technical assistance and public service in Kansas, the nation and the world, the Beach Center on Disability seeks to make a significant and sustainable difference in the quality of life of families and individuals affected by disability. Research focuses on access to the general curriculum, assistive technology, deaf-blindness, disability policy, employment, family supports and services in early childhood, family quality of life, individual control of funding, positive behavior support and self-determination. Founded in 1988 by KU Distinguished Professors Ann and Rud Turnbull, the Beach Center honors Ross and Marianna Beach for their long-standing efforts on behalf of families affected by disability and was inspired by the Turnbulls' son, Jay, who had several disabilities.
