New … LEND Alumni Registry

The UW LEND Program has been supported by the Arc of Washington Trust Fund through this Program Grant program for well over a decade.  LEND “alumni” trainees are now providing a variety of services to individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities and their families.  A registry listing these “alumni” trainees, their specialties, their organizations and their locations is now available.  These “alumni” went through training specifically to better tailor their services to those with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and this may be a resource to families looking for such providers.  You may find this registry in one of two formats by clicking one of the buttons below:
