Our Process
YTI cultivates a unique combination of research and outreach. While our research provides the science to move communities forward around disability inclusion, our outreach communicates that information and creates meaningful change in areas such as community life, education, training, and work.
YTI is unique due to its combination of researchers and practitioners, who focus on meaningful inclusion of people with disabilities in all aspects of life. We provide the science to move communities forward around disability inclusion.
