Hello everyone,
The next Self Advocate Discussion Series will be taking place next week, Thursday June 16th, at 4pm Eastern Time. Zoom link is here, and below this email
https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83617847706?pwd=OEpkL1E0SEtXSGhWSU10NkE5NUlPdz09 .
As people desired, the topic of discussion will be the LEND programs. We will have a guest speaker (Jairo Eloy) to talk about their experience with the program, and take questions about what LEND programs are, and how to get started.
From the Association of University Centers On Disabilities:
“Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental and Related Disabilities (LEND) programs provide long-term, graduate level interdisciplinary training as well as interdisciplinary services and care. The purpose of
the LEND training program is to improve the health of infants, children, and adolescents with disabilities. They accomplish this by preparing trainees from diverse professional disciplines to assume leadership roles in their respective fields and by ensuring
high levels of interdisciplinary clinical competence.
LEND programs operate within a university system, usually as part of a University Center for Excellence (UCEDD) or other larger entity, and collaborate with local university hospitals and/or health care centers. This set-up gives them the
expert faculty, facilities, and other resources necessary to provide exceptional interdisciplinary training and services.”
As a reminder, please share the Zoom link with anyone you know who may be interested, but please do not post it publicly on social media.
I look forward to seeing as many of you as possible on Thursday.
