The LEND Program is offering this competitive supplement to current Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental and Related Disabilities (LEND) program recipients. This grant is for supporting clinical and leadership training for pediatric audiology trainees within LEND programs and providing continuing education for practicing professionals. The purpose is to strengthen comprehensive care for infants and young children who are deaf or hard-of-hearing (DHH) with or at risk for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and/or other developmental disabilities (DD). It aims to increase the number of pediatric audiologists skilled in serving this population and enhance Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI) systems’ capacity.
