Iowa LEND is Now Recruiting!
The Iowa Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental and related Disabilities (ILEND)
program is now recruiting for the 2024-2025 academic year. LEND is an interdisciplinary
training program dedicated to improving the health of people with disabilities across the
lifespan. Participation in the yearlong program prepares trainees from diverse healthcare,
educational, family, self-advocacy, and community disciplines to assume leadership roles
in their respective fields.
Do you know a self-advocate, parent/caregiver, or a graduate student, who might be
interested in this opportunity? Graduate level disciplines include, but are not limited to,
audiology, community, education, health administration, nursing, medicine, physical therapy,
psychology, psychiatry, public health, speech-language pathology, and social work.
Please share these links for the 2024-2025 recruitment letter and program flyer with anyone you
think might be a good candidate for the ILEND program.
