The annual MIND Summer Institute on Neurodevelopmental Disorders is a one-day conference intended for a wide range of professionals. The focus of the Institute is to help participants keep pace with the latest advances in neurodevelopmental research and the most current standards for best practices in prevention, assessment, treatment, and support services, and increase their knowledge and skills in the areas of developmental disabilities, early identification, service provision, inclusion, transition to adulthood, and other medical, legal, social and policy issues related to disabilities.

This one-day conference at the Seattle LEND will focus on children with neurodevelopmental disabilities and their families. Highlights include recommendations on shaping early communication, augmentative communication, adaptive seating to support communication, impact of drooling on communication and strategies to address it, and much more.

Center on Human Development and Disability (WA UCEDD) is one of the co-sponsors.
