Training
Interdisciplinary Pre-Service Preparation and Continuing Education Training
The UCLA Tarjan Center strives to integrate service, training, and research across all our UCEDD projects and programs. Our faculty and staff help train university students, pre-licensed and practicing professionals, individuals with disabilities and family members, disability advocates, and policy makers. Training is varied, and includes classes in degree programs, supervised clinical experiences, continuing education, and conferences. UCEDD training is conducted in collaboration with the UCLA Center for Autism Research and Treatment (CART) and the Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Research Center (IDDRC).
