Product Description:

The ARIE program is a student-led program, with approximately 30 medical student volunteers in the program annually. Two students are paired with a family who has a child with a DD. The families and students engage in a phone call, two in-person or two virtual visit sessions, and an end-of-program celebration. Students are able to learn more about developmental disabilities, the family's lifestyle, and obstacles that the family experiences in accessing healthcare.
