 The CT LEND provides training to graduate students from audiology, nursing, psychology, public health, school psychology, social work, special education, speech language and hearing science. 

The Interdisciplinary Training for Early Intervention Professionals Specialist Program (EISP) is a personnel preparation grant. The focus of the program is to increase the number of qualified personnel across disciplines who currently provide services in the Connecticut Birth to Three (IDEA Part C) system.

The AUCD Early Childhood Intervention (ECI) Special Interest Group (SIG) is a collaborative network within the Association of University Centers on Disabilities (AUCD) focused on improving services for young children (birth to age 3) with developmental delays or disabilities, sharing best practices, building workforce capacity, and supporting families, often connecting university resources with community needs through initiatives like the LEND program.
