Audiology
Pediatric Audiology Training Resource Site
There are currently 11 Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental and related Disabilities (LEND) programs that received subawards to expand and augment their pediatric audiology training efforts. The competition and supplemental funding to the LEND programs were made possible through a contract to AUCD from the Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) of the Health Resources and Services Administration's (HRSA). The contract also funded this LEND Pediatric Audiology Training Resource Site (www.aucd.org/lendaudiology) for all LEND Pediatric Audiology Programs. If you have suggestions for News, Resources, or future Events to post to the site, please email Meaghan McHugh.
