The purpose of this supplement is to support the clinical and leadership training of pediatric audiology trainees within Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental and Related Disabilities (LEND) programs with the following specific goals: 1) to strengthen the focus on screening, treatment, and follow-up in infants and young children who are deaf or hard-of-hearing and who have autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and/or other related neurodevelopmental disabilities (DD); 2) to increase the number of pediatric audiologists with clinical and leadership skills and expertise in delivering care to infants and young children with ASD and/or other DD, utilizing these unique skills to work across disciplines to better serve children with hearing loss and their families; and 3) to enhance the systems’ capacity to increase enrollment of infants/children with ASD and/or other DD confirmed to be deaf or hard-of-hearing into early intervention programs.
