Description

LENDs are pioneers in involving family members in professional training. The LEND Family Involvement Assessment, a national survey conducted since 2013, details the benefits of family involvement. This interactive session is an opportunity for LENDs and other disability- related training programs to share successful strategies, and develop new systematic ways to enhance or increase family voice in their programs, while contributing to a white paper on Family Involvement.
