Project TransTeam

Project TransTeam Project TransTeam Evolution is funded by a federal grant to prepare graduate students from PT, OT, and ECSE.

The purpose of Project TransTeam is to develop a transdisciplinary model of personnel preparation to address the personnel shortages in the field of early intervention/ early childhood special education that exist through the nation, and particularly in Alabama. The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) has developed a preservice preparation model that not only increases the quality of masters

-level students, but enhances the diversity and quality of early intervention, early childhood, and related services personnel who are prepared to use methods shown to be effective through scientifically-based research. TransTeam Provides:
A comprehensive early childhood special education (ECSE) program leading to licensure in ECSE

A related services component in physical therapy (PT) and occupational therapy (OT)

⭐️ Graduate Spotlight!⭐️

From Shelby County, AL, to the classroom, Jennifer Mayerhofer’s journey is a powerful reminder that every path unfolds in its own time. Starting college later than most, she embraced every opportunity along the wayβ€”and now celebrates a milestone she’s incredibly proud of.

Through hands-on learning and meaningful connections, Jennifer found her place at UAB, gaining real-world experience and learning from experts who helped prepare her for the next step in her career.

Her advice to future grads? "Take all the feedback and experiences you can get! This is the best time to learn!"

After receiving her Master's in Special Education, Jennifer plans to continue making a difference by serving children in our community through early childhood special education. πŸ’›

πŸ’¬ "I am graduating in May with a degree in Early Childhood Special Education. I have been blessed to pursue this degree as a recipient of the Trans Disciplinary Grant offered through the College of Education. I am looking forward to working with young children with learning differences and disabilities after graduation. I most look forward to using my own personal experiences as a parent and educator to encourage and strengthen caregivers as they support the abilities of young children entrusted to their care.

"I am grateful for the face to face collaboration I have had as a student to interact with fellow peers within my same field. I see my UAB experience as well rounded because of the unique professor and student interactions I have had in my course work. I am grateful to be a Blazer," - Ronda Cathy, Class of 2026. πŸ‰
