\"Kiriko<\/p>\n

The director of a university research center to support individuals with disabilities has been appointed to the Hawaiʻi<\/span> State Council on Developmental Disabilities<\/a>. The Hawaiʻi<\/span> Senate voted to approve Kiriko Takahashi<\/strong>\u2019s appointment on March 31, 2021. Takahashi is the current director of the Center on Disability Studies<\/a> (CDS<\/abbr>) in the College of Education at the University of Hawaiʻi<\/span> at M\u0101noa.<\/p>\n

Takahashi joins the 28 governor-appointed members who include individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, parents, family members and representatives from public and private agencies that serve this population. <\/p>\n

Established by state and federal law as an independent agency, the Developmental Disabilities Council has a mission to empower, advocate and support individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities statewide to control their own destiny and determine the quality of life they desire.<\/p>\n

Takahashi earned a master\u2019s degree in learning disabilities from Northwestern University, and a doctoral degree in exceptionalities from 东精影业<\/abbr> M\u0101noa. Her research interests include assistive technology, culturally-based education and mathematics. <\/p>\n

The council is CDS<\/abbr>\u2019s sister agency. As a council member, Takahashi hopes to be informed about the current needs of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities to continue the CDS<\/abbr>\u2019s programming. She also hopes to provide input to the council\u2019s 5-year plan, help monitor their implementation, and collaborate on integrating the lives of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities at community and systems levels. <\/p>\n

This appointment is an example of 东精影业<\/abbr> M\u0101noa\u2019s goal of Enhancing Student Success<\/a> (PDF<\/abbr><\/span>) and Excellence in Research: Advancing the Research and Creative Work Enterprise<\/a> (PDF<\/abbr><\/span>), two of four goals identified in the 2015–25 Strategic Plan<\/a> (PDF<\/abbr><\/span>), updated in December 2020.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
