This interdisciplinary course addresses issues relevant to professionals who work with people with developmental disabilities, their families, and the human service system. Understanding the professionals' role in diagnosing, evaluating and assessing children who have developmental disabilities or who are at high risk of acquiring them will be the emphasis for the first half of the semester. Specific discussions of families and services will highlight the second half of the term. This course is offered in collaboration with six area universities and colleges and meets off-campus at the Children's Hospital.
