Why PIPs?
Learn about the Preparing Interdisciplinary Providers grant through the lens of current scholars.
The Preparing Interdisciplinary Providers (PIPs) project trains highly qualified professionals to work with young children with complex needs and their families. PIPs scholars receive interdisciplinary training through a variety of opportunities and experiences both on and off campus. Opportunities include joint coursework, an interdisciplinary practicum, a capstone project, and an intensive summer institute with physical therapy and occupational therapy students.
Graduates will be eligible for certification in speech language pathology or early childhood special education and will be prepared for positions serving children with disabilities eligible for Part C or Part B preschool services through the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).
The inaugural group of PIPs scholars will graduate in May 2020 and the second cohort will begin their program in June 2020.
