Training physicians to care for children and adults with disabilities

Its patients are mainly children whose disabilities began in childhood and people with disabilities who have reached adulthood.
They include children and adults with physical disabilities, mainly cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, and skeletal dysplasia; those with severe motor and intellectual disabilities; those with intellectual disabilities; and those with developmental disorders, mainly autism.
For medical students, the lab also gives fourth-year lectures and runs fifth-year clinical clerkships.
