Working with the birth to three population is a rewarding, yet challenging experience. In this one-day seminar
we will examine the ABCs of early intervention to empower providers with critical evidence regarding best
practices when working with very young children and
their families. We will explore guidelines for creating
functional IFSP outcomes, routines-based intervention,
coaching the caregiver, and so much more. If you are an
early intervention professional or you want to learn
more about the framework of early intervention, this
seminar is for you!

ABCs of Early Intervention
How Technology Impacts
Early Child Development
Workshop 1
This one-day seminar examines the evidence to guide therapists, educators, and
other early childhood professionals as we live and work in the digital age. Just because technology is available at our fingertips, doesn’t necessarily mean we should
be using it with very young children. Infants, toddlers, and preschool age children
do not learn the same way that older children and adults do. It’s not just a matter of
being “pro-technology” or “anti-technology,” but rather what is appropriate for
young children with developing brains and bodies. We will examine the factors necessary for healthy development as we contrast the virtual playground with the traditional playground. Throughout this course, professionals will gain powerful evidence-based information regarding best practices for using technology in therapy
and in early childhood classrooms. This seminar contains must-have information
for providers serving the birth to five population.
