Current Projects

Interdisciplinary Specialization in Transition (IST) Project:
Through a grant funded by the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS), the Interdisciplinary Specialization in Transition (IST) project is designed to improve the quality of pre-service graduate scholars in Special Education and School Psychology Programs to implement high quality instruction, with a focus on evidence-based transition intervention and evaluation, to improve transition outcomes for children and young adults with disabilities. Selected scholars receive tuition remission for 15 credit hours ($7005.00) and a $10,000 stipend per year ($34,010 of funding over the two years).

Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental and Other Related Disabilities (RI LEND):
The Rhode Island Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental and Other Related Disabilities (RI LEND) project offers a graduate level interdisciplinary training experience to prepare individuals from diverse professional disciplines to assume leadership roles in the disability field. The purpose of the RI LEND training program is to improve the life course and health of infants, children, and adolescents with autism spectrum disorders and other neurodevelopmental disabilities. The RI LEND program is funded by the Maternal and Child Health Bureau of the Health Resources Services Administration and represents a partnership between the W.
