The purpose of this program is to increase access to evaluation and services for children with a wide range of developmental and behavioral concerns, including autism. Through this program, up to 15 Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) accredited DBP fellowship programs will provide post-graduate training (including fellowships), continuing education to practicing providers, and technical assistance to community agencies. Programs will prepare DBP fellows for leadership roles as teachers, researchers, and clinicians.
