“As a former student at UT Dallas, my experience with the CCF was transformative in my journey toward earning a bachelor’s degree in speech communication disorders & child development, as well as a master’s degree in human development and early childhood disorders. The CCF provided me with invaluable insights into developmental science and its practical applications, which have been instrumental in my professional growth … I am grateful for the opportunities provided by CCF and the mentorship I received, which have been pivotal in shaping my career and commitment to improving the lives of children and families.”
