David C. Hodgson Endowed Lecture: Rebecca Landa

Description

Rebecca Landa, founder and executive director of the Center for Autism Services, Science, and Innovation at Kennedy Krieger Institute and a professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, will deliver the second annual David C. Hodgson Endowed Lecture titled "Breakthroughs in Understanding Early Autism Development and Effective Intervention." The lecture is hosted by the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. A reception will follow.

This endowed lecture is made possible by the generosity of the General Atlantic Foundation in honor of David Hodgson, past chair and current member of the Johns Hopkins Medicine board of trustees. A primary objective of this lecture is to further strengthen the collaborative ties between Johns Hopkins Medicine and Kennedy Krieger Institute. The institute's affiliation with Johns Hopkins spans more than 60 years and has led to significant contributions in understanding and treating people with autism, learning disabilities, and other disorders of the developing brain.
