Talk to Me: I'm Listening and Learning

Description

The moment a child begins to interact with the world, that child discovers dialogue. Our 2012 conference focuses on the relationships we have with infants, toddlers, and their families – and offers a wide range of opportunities for birth-to-three early childhood professionals. Our keynote speaker, and many of the workshops, address language and learning in the first three years. Whether you’re interested in research, technique, administration, or clinical practice, our conference has something to offer beginning, intermediate, and advanced practitioners.
