The Family Interprofessional Team (FIT) was created to provide LEND trainees with a real world, hands-on experience to utilize and implement the skills of leadership, family centered practice, and interprofessional teamwork in addition to the skills and perspectives of their own profession. The FIT program offers family centered, best practice, culturally competent evaluation and consultation services to children with autism (ASD), cerebral palsy (CP), genetic conditions, and other neurodevelopmental disabilities.
