HDI Research and Educational Opportunities for UK Students

This lecture will explain the interdisciplinary training aspect of the HDI’s Graduate Certificate in Developmental Disabilities, the Undergraduate Certificate in Universal Design, and the Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental Disabilities (LEND) program, as more on- campus students become involved with HDI projects. The lecture will discuss research opportunities available for students to engage with HDI projects, practicum opportunities available for students, and HDI’s family mentor program as a valuable training opportunity for students to learn first-hand from the family’s perspective.
