26th Annual "Spectrum of Developmental Disabilities" Conference Scheduled for March

Several Kennedy Krieger faculty members will present lectures at the 26th annual "Spectrum of Developmental Disabilities" continuing education conference. The conference, scheduled for March 29-31, will focus on communication disorders in school-aged children.

Designed by the late Dr. Arnold Capute in 1978, the conference provides a forum for professionals working with children with developmental disabilities to advance their training and meet their fields' continuing education requirements. The certifying agencies for social workers, psychologists, speech language pathologists, nurse practitioners, pediatricians, family practitioners and physical therapists have all agreed to accept the credit hours available to conference attendees. Credit hours for attendees are 19.50 with lunch presentations, and 19.0 without.
