Interdisciplinary project highlighted by U.S. Department of Education
The University of Georgia’s Preparation of Interdisciplinary Providers project in the College of Education was recently featured in the U.S. Department of Education’s Early Learning newsletter, which highlighted the project’s role in helping infants, toddlers, and children with complex needs and their families.
The $1.1 million personnel preparation grant from the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Special Education Programs promotes collaboration among service professionals across multiple disciplines to deliver critical services to young children with high-intensity needs.
Over the course of a five-year period, the PIPs project will prepare 24 graduate-level speech-language pathologists and early childhood special educators to serve young children with disabilities and their families in interdisciplinary and collaborative contexts.
