This report describes activities and accomplishments of a four-year project to develop a doctoral program at the University of Kansas Medical Center to prepare teacher educators, researchers, supervisors/managers, and clinicians in programs in either deafness or learning disabilities and in a combined deafness and learning disabilities program. Innovative aspects of the program centered on the merging of philosophies and service delivery approaches across the fields of deafness and learning disabilities. Theory and practice were explored to identify common and unique contributions of the two fields and content and experiences applicable to both fields were incorporated into core course work and practica. Stipends or teaching assistantships were provided to approximately 40 students. The project also provided support for students to travel to conferences. The project's most significant accomplishments were the leadership program's national reputation and its cooperative relationship with other agencies. Individual sections of the report address the project's purpose, objectives, and accomplishments.
