For Students
How are students involved?
We welcome students to observe clinics. In fact, we have multiple students involved in clinic each week. Students represent a variety of majors including speech pathology, social work, nutrition, occupational therapy, physical therapy, medicine, pharmacy, education, counseling, nursing, psychology, and early intervention.
CAAT clinic also supports WV LEND trainees. LEND trainees are graduate students who have been selected to participate in the national Leadership Education in Neurodevelopment and Related Disabilities program. LEND trainees work closely with clinic mentors to develop and hone their interdisciplinary clinical competence. For more information on the LEND program at the CED, visit the LEND website.
