Thank you for your interest in our training programs.  The Georgetown University Center for Child and Human Development offers 3 programs that train service providers across disciplines to provide comprehensive, family/person- centered services to young children with disabilities and their families.  Scholars in these programs complete asynchronous on-line courses with occasional live evening video chat sessions.
