\u00a0<\/strong>What was ProjectINTERACT?<\/h2>\n

Western Carolina University was proud to host the Project INTERACT grant! This innovative 1-year training opportunity provided Western Carolina graduate students in Communication Sciences & Disorders, Special Education, and Psychology the opportunity to learn about implementing interprofessional care models with students on the autism spectrum.<\/p>\n

Project INTERACT (INTERprofessional Autism Collaborative Training) was a 5-year, Department of Education\u2013funded Personnel Preparation grant designed to increase the number and quality of personnel serving children with high-intensity needs, specifically Autism and moderate to severe intellectual disabilities. This program trained 12 graduate students each year, four from each of the participating WCU disciplines (Psychology, Special Education, and Speech-Language Pathology).<\/p>\n
