NDCPD Services

NDCPD has provided exemplary services to ND communities throughout the years. Many of these innovative approaches to disability services are readily available for replications in other communities. If you would like more information about our service capabilities, please contact our Community Service Coordinator at (800) 233-1737.

The North Dakota Center for Persons with Disabilities at Minot State University provides direct services to people who have disabilities. The purpose of offering these services is twofold:

• to offer services that demonstrate current best practice and fill an area of need not being met by current community resources and
• to provide a practical setting for training new professionals to work in the disability community.
