This semester we will begin a new didactic series as part of the UNC Center for Development & Learning's (CDL) Education / Training program. The focus of the series will be on developmental disabilities (DD). Talks in this series will cover a broad range of clinical issues in DD. The lectures will be open to all students, trainees, faculty, and staff who are interested. Students / trainees from other UNC programs outside of the CDL who have an interest in DD are welcome to attend.
The lectures are scheduled for Wednesdays from 8:00 - 8:50 AM at the CDL (room 122). The lectures will be offered twice per month with the first lecture on February 3rd. See calendar for details on each lecture.
