Project Description:

The Center on Disability and Development trains graduate students provides an opportunity to study the complex social, political, and educational issues that surround individuals with disabilities and their families. Our Interdisciplinary Training Program began training its first Doctoral students in 2006. Reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of the Center, our trainees have come from the disciplines of special education, school psychology, counseling psychology, and learning sciences. The trainees are assigned to work with CDD Center Faculty on projects that directly address our Center's objectives and participate in research, training, and outreach activities under the direction of Center faculty. Our program will increase the number of qualified personnel across disciplines that can provide services and supports for individuals with developmental disabilities. 13 doctoral students have been actively involved in the research, evaluation, and program development of CDD projects while being mentored by the Center leadership team and affiliated faculty members. These projects include the Heart of Texas GEAR UP, Directory of Community Resources (DCR), Project REDD, Aggie ACHIEVE, the Work-Based Learning project, Coach 2 Communicate, and iGROW.
