Blue Plate Research

Blue Plate Research brings together state and community decision-makers with premier researchers to explore the health and well-being challenges facing Utah. The presentation events focus on sharing easy-to-understand research with Utah’s health advocates, statewide stakeholders, and the general public. In Utah, nearly every one in five people live with a disability. Yet, the systems meant to support them still struggle to keep up. Dr. Matthew Wappett has spent his career working to reduce that gap. As Executive Director of the Center for Persons with Disabilities at Utah State University, he studies how stress, resilience, and inclusion intersect, and what communities, schools, and organizations can do differently to support those with disabilities Dr. Wappett will dive into the disability and social services challenges in Utah and showcase the research underway at the USU Institute for Disability Research, Policy and Practice (IDRPP) which has been at the forefront of disability services since 1972.
