Child Development Program Externship
Clinical and Developmental Psychology doctoral students are invited to apply for an externship in the Child Development Program. The position offers supervised training in evaluation of infants and young children referred for developmental and behavioral concerns, primarily in the range of birth to age three. The presenting concerns include complications around the time of birth (e.g. extreme prematurity, birth asphyxia, etc.), motor delays, language delays, global developmental delay, intellectual disabilities and autism spectrum disorder. Many of the children have complex medical conditions, underlying neurologic disorders and/or genetic disorders. Our clinic serves a wide range of children and families representing the larger DMV region and we prioritize a culturally responsive approach to evaluation and feedback.
