Center for Disabilities Studies

University of Delaware students are invited to support people with disabilities at a painting party on April 27, hosted by UD’s Center for Disabilities Studies, Art Therapy Express and the New Castle County Department of Community Services.

This program works to help graduate student Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental and Related Disabilities (LEND) trainees connect meaningfully with families in which at least one of the members is a child with a neurodevelopmental disability.

Under the general direction of the Project Director, the Project Assistant will support the daily operations of a research project focused on Developmental Monitoring and Early Language Acquisition. By improving access to language enrichment materials in-clinic and in the community, it will also promote parent engagement in healthy child development activities.

CLSC is a 2-year certificate program at UD for students with intellectual disabilities. Internships offer an opportunity to learn about inclusive higher education, conduct coaching and workshops, and facilitate campus connections with CLSC students.

Graduate assistants conduct school evaluations and coordinate the distribution and analysis of multiple types of data including the Delaware School Climate Survey. Students assist with professional development and learn about best practices.
