1 Certificate Program Curriculum Overview Courses: CHDD 551 Topics in Developmental Disabilities: Early Years 2 credits, graded, Fall CHDD 552 Topics in Developmental Disabilities: Middle and Adolescent Years 2 credits, graded, Winter CHDD 560 Interdisciplinary Clinical Practice in Developmental Disabilities 3 credits, graded, Spring CHDD 556 Capstone Project 2 credits, pass/fail, Winter/Spring Electives 6 credits, at least 2 credits from graded courses No more than 6 credit hours may be applied to both the certificate program and a student s graduate degree program, and the overlapping courses are limited to elective coursework in each program.

2 CHDD 551 Topics in Developmental Disabilities: Early Years CHDD 552 Topics in Developmental Disabilities: Middle and Adolescent Years This is a two-part series format and structure of the courses will be the same; topics covered are divided into early years (CHDD 551) and middle and adolescent years (552). Learning Objectives Students will be able to: Describe attributes of various developmental disabilities which may affect children Describe the process used to screen for and diagnose developmental disabilities, including intellectual disability, fetal alcohol spectrum disorder, autism spectrum disorder, and other neurodevelopmental disabilities Identify interprofessional contributions and roles in interventions for developmental disabilities List agencies and programs that provide services for individuals with developmental disabilities and describe their funding sources Describe key principles, philosophies, and evidence-based approaches that guide policies and programs for individuals with developmental disability (e.g., family-centered care, cultural competence, life course approach) Describe ethics and professionalism as related to developmental disabilities Describe advocacy efforts related to developmental disabilities Activities These courses utilize a modified synchronous learning approach to support enhanced knowledge of developmental disabilities and interdisciplinary practice: Web-based lecture, assigned reading, and online video Moderated electronic discussion Interprofessional problem-based learning exercises In-person class meetings (2)

3 CHDD 560 Interdisciplinary Clinical Practice in Developmental Disabilities (3 credits, graded, Spring) Expected Outcomes Students will have increased knowledge and skills in interdisciplinary clinical diagnosis and assessment of individuals with developmental disabilities, including specific application to their field of study. Activities Participate in four structured clinical observations of diagnostic sessions in one or more CHDD interdisciplinary clinics to include observations of at least two disciplines; participate in at least 2 interdisciplinary case conferences for discussion of evaluation outcomes and diagnosis. For each observation: Complete pre-clinic preparation regarding individual child(ren) to be seen Complete pre-clinic summary sheet including the following (1) student s learning objectives, (2) expected assessment tools, potential concerns/issues, potential recommendations related to child s specific concerns, disciplines/providers involved Observe Complete any post-clinic follow-up (e.g., investigate potential services, resources, additional testing, issues not addressed during clinic visit) Complete post-clinic reflection, including relationship with and implications for student s discipline Complete four online, self-directed (scope of practice) modules. Select from Audiology, Nutrition, Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, Social Work, and Speech and Language. For each module: Submit the certificate of completion Post a reflection in response to posted questions Participate in four classroom-based seminars on the following topics: (1) Applications of interdisciplinary practice, (2) Communicating assessment results and diagnostic information to families, (3) Evidence-based recommendations and interventions for specific developmental disabilities, (4) Oral presentation and discussion of final reflective papers. LEND fellows and others will be encouraged to participate in these seminars. For each seminar: Completed assigned readings Participate in role playing activity and class discussion Post reflection in response to posted questions Complete a final reflective paper (topics to be suggested with a focus on how student s specific discipline interacts with others on an interdisciplinary and/or interagency team).

4 CHDD 556 Capstone Project (2 credits, pass/fail, Winter/Spring) The DD Certificate program capstone is an opportunity for students to work on projects focused in an area of developmental disability of particular interest. The goal is for students to synthesize, integrate, and apply the skills and competencies they have acquired during the course of the certificate program to address an issue that approximates or directly represents a professional practice experience. Expected Outcomes Students will have in depth knowledge on a targeted topic relative to developmental disabilities and gain skill in acquisition and interpretation of data to form a summary of information for professional presentation. Activities Identify a topic with a focus on children or adolescents relevant to developmental disabilities, special health care needs, family-centered care, and/or health disparities Identify a CHDD faculty mentor Prepare a project proposal that meets the guidance outlined in the syllabus and that is approved by the CHDD faculty mentor and the course instructor Complete the project Prepare a professional/scientific poster for peer reviewed presentation at the Annual UW LEND Day in June

5 Elective Courses Students will enroll in 6 elective credits, 2 credits must be graded, chosen from a menu of existing UW graduate courses in academic departments that prepare individuals for careers in health, education, and other areas of DD practice. Elective courses eligible for inclusion in this certificate program include courses related to Developmental Disabilities or to systems that service individuals with DD and their families. These credits may also apply to the student s academic program as electives toward their degree. Student selection of elective courses will be reviewed and approved.
