Dear Colleagues and Friends,

I am pleased to share with you the Human Development Institute’s Fiscal Year 2017 Annual Report. HDI stands as Kentucky’s Center on Disability at the University of Kentucky. This was a year of change, of growth, and of softening the ground for new opportunities. Included in this overview you will find data that outline some of our accomplishments around research, education, training and information sharing, along with spotlights of our staff, students, and those we serve. I hope you enjoy this glimpse into some of our most recent work. Thank you for your support and for your partnership in helping to building brighter tomorrows, today.

Most Sincerely,

Dr. Kathy Sheppard-Jones, Executive Director
