Welcome

The Coleman Institute for Cognitive Disabilities was established in 2001 by the Regents of the University of Colorado. A private endowment and sustained annual contributions by our founding donors, William T. and Claudia L. Coleman, support the Institute's activities. The Institute is headed by David Braddock, PhD, Associate Vice President of the University of Colorado, who serves as Executive Director. Enid Ablowitz is the Institute's Associate Director.

The Institute's mission is to catalyze and integrate advances in science, engineering and technology to promote the quality of life and independent living of people with cognitive disabilities.
