Research

The LEND Center of Pittsburgh strives to educate our students and community partners about best practices and evidence-based treatments for children with neurodevelopmental and related disabilities.

LEND faculty are highly productive in research, mentoring LEND Leadership Trainees in a variety of basic and applied research projects related to children with special needs. Students work with faculty on funded/unfunded research projects at the masters, doctoral, and post-doctoral level.
