• educate, consult, and train in the identification and prevention of disabilities
• develop and provide services to people with disabilities
• research and provide effective treatment for people with disabilities
• perform for other organizations individual and agency-wide assessment and evaluation services
• provide support to families who have a member with a disability
• provide other services requested by states, in an effort to address the unmet needs of people with disabilities
