The focus of the 1.5 hour webinar will be on supporting children's social emotional development by building their early social emotional literacy and vocabulary skills. Specific topics will include:
•Research evidence on the importance of early social emotional literacy and vocabulary skills on children's social emotional wellbeing.
•Selecting age-, developmentally-, and culturally-appropriate books for children to support their social emotional development. We will highlight topics that may be relevant to military families, such as: loneliness, friendships, understanding and acceptance of disability, separation, transitioning to new locations, bonding, dealing with family stressors, and grieving.
•Evidence-based strategies for embedding early literacy activities to support children with disabilities within their typical routines and home, school, and in the community.
