Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental and related Disabilities

The Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental and related Disabilities training program, also known as LEND, for future healthcare leaders is funded by the Maternal and Child Health Bureau. The major goal of this project is to promote the health status of children (and their families) with neurodevelopmental and related disabilities by training healthcare professionals for leadership roles, collaboration with other agencies, and participation in policy development on health care.
