approaches, and intervention methods to reduce the challenges for 
individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders. This initiative recognizes 
historical and emerging strengths at KU that contribute to new directions 
of discovery, and is being mounted to forge bridges across academic 
disciplines for front line collaborative research projects and next 
generation training. As part of this position, multiple new faculty will be
