Promoting lifelong learning and engagement
Two ways IDHD trains

Interdisciplinary academic training
The majority of our interdisciplinary pre-service training activities are offered through UIC DHD academic programs. We also reach students from other disciplines through internships and the Illinois Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental and Related Disabilities training program. -
Continuing ed and community training
We offer continuing education opportunities through our university-sanctioned UIC DHD certificate programs, many of which provide continuing education units to professionals.
