About the LEND Program
LEND is a leadership education program funded by the Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) of the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) in the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS).
At The Ohio State University, LEND is a program of the Nisonger Center, a University Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities (UCEDD).
The key elements of LEND training include:
-
Leadership - the ability to guide professional endeavors in new and promising directions.
-
Scholarship - the ability to advance knowledge through study and critical investigation.
-
Partnership - the ability to cooperate and collaborate with educators, multidisciplinary academics, community organizations, clinicians, policy makers, parents, children and adults with disabilities, and families for a common purpose.
The Ohio State University/Nisonger Center LEND Program works closely with Nationwide Children’s Hospital on a range of research, clinical and teaching projects related to a wide range of developmental disabilities.
