Description
The Diversity Fellowship program was a collaborative effort with Nisonger and a Somali outreach organization (SomaliCAN), to increase the diversity of Nisonger Center trainees. Additional goals included to provide evidence based pre-service training on ASD/DD to licensed Somali Community Health Workers; to develop and disseminate accessible evidence-based information on ASD/DD within the Somali community; and to identify barriers to early intervention among Somali Americans families in Central Ohio.Back to Session: Poster Symposium 16: Diversity Fellows
