About the Presenters

Training the Next Generation

One of the Tarjan Center’s chief activities is the preparation of personnel for careers in fields relating to developmental disabilities. Because the needs of individuals with developmental disabilities are complex, service providers and professionals require expertise in many different disciplines. Our faculty and trainees follow an interdisciplinary approach and provide state of the art diagnosis, evaluation, and treatment services through UCLA-based Tarjan Center Clinical Training & Services. We welcome our new trainees for 2021-2022. For information about our training program contact our Director of Training, Dr. Jasper Estabillo at jestabillo@mednet.ucla.edu
