The Center on Disability and Community Inclusion (CDCI)

Continence Project

The Continence Project at CDCI

The Continence Project is a collaborative project of the CDCI at UVM, Vermont Department of Education, Vermont Department of Aging and Independent Living, and Vermont Department of Health Children with Special Health Needs.

The mission of the Continence Project is to make a difference in the lives of individuals with developmental disabilities through the acquisition of independent toileting, which has an impact on the quality of life of these individuals. Because of its profound impact on a person's health, self-esteem, and independence, toilet training should be treated as a priority.
