Educational Evaluation Question: Is a multimedia approach that includes the perspectives and experiences of family members of people with developmental disabilities an effective teaching method for pediatric residents about developmental disabilities and communicating with family caregivers of children with developmental disabilities? At the University of Oklahoma, little direct instruction is given to pediatric residents about how to best assist and communicate with the parents of children with developmental disabilities. The Center for Learning and Leadership, in conjunction with the Oklahoma Family Network and the Department of Pediatrics, has developed an effective family-centered approach to introduce pediatric residents to family perspectives on developmental disabilities. Our Pediatric Resident Practicum is part of an advocacy rotation for pediatric residents associated with the Family Support 360 Center, a program of the Center for Learning and Leadership/ Oklahoma UCEDD that
