The Paul V. Sherlock Center on Disabilities was founded at Rhode Island College in 1993. A vision for a national network of programs that advance the opportunities of persons with developmental and other disabilities, their families and communities, was created in federal legislation in the 1960s. There are now sixty-one such programs throughout the United States, including at least one in every state.
