Interdisciplinary Training:
Support from the Maternal and Child Health Bureau’s Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental and Other Related Disabilities (LEND) program has allowed us to create and maintain an interdisciplinary training model. Child clinical psychology fellows are part of the LEND program, which also includes pediatrics, social work, occupational and physical therapies, speech-language pathology, nutrition, neurology, psychiatry, education and audiology. Our fellows also actively participate in a structured series of interdisciplinary seminars, rounds and clinics. To ensure comprehensive interdisciplinary training, all trainees complete an individualized training plan (ITP).
Didactic Experiences:
All Department of Neuropsychology trainees have the opportunity to participate in a wide range of didactic seminars and grand rounds, both at Kennedy Krieger and through the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Primary didactic training in child and adolescent clinical psychology is achieved through a weekly series of seminars, including:
- Professional Development Seminar
- Case Conferences
- Journal Club
- Grand Rounds

Research:
Postdoctoral fellows are provided with opportunities to participate in or develop their own research projects within the fields of psychology or neurodevelopmental disabilities. Research opportunities are available through the mentorship of faculty members and researchers throughout the Kennedy Krieger and Johns Hopkins research community, and dedicated time is available for research.
