An important component of the CoLEND program is the Developmental Behavioral Pediatrics Residency Training Program. Every pediatric resident rotates through developmental behavioral pediatrics for one month. During this time they are exposed to a variety of children and families with and without developmental issues. This experience provides pediatric residents with the opportunity to learn about typical child development as well as differences in development.
Residents participate in evaluations, discussions and consultations with various disciplines.
Another aspect of CoLEND is the Child Psychiatry Residency Training Program. Every child psychiatry resident rotates through developmental behavioral pediatrics for at least six months in their second year. During this time they are exposed to a variety of children and families with developmental and behavioral concerns. This experience provides child psychiatry residents with the opportunity to learn about the range of psychiatric difficulties that persons with developmental disabilities may experience. Residents participate in interdisciplinary evaluations, weekly service meetings, research groups, inservice training, discussions and consultations with various disciplines.
