Project Description:
The Georgia Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental Disabilities (GaLEND) program is an interdisciplinary, one-year training experience for future professionals, disability advocates, and family members. The curriculum incorporates didactic and experiential learning in classroom, clinical, and community settings. GaLEND prepares future leaders to enhance the lives of children and families through culturally competent/family-centered services, coordinated systems of care, and responsive social policies. GaLEND has an explicit focus on equity and access to help eliminate disparities of individuals with autism and related disabilities. Past GaLEND trainees have moved on to positions at CDC, universities, state agencies, and advocacy organizations.
