Bridges: Provider to Provider - Adult Learners: How to Help the Family Help their Child

Description

Many practitioners in the field of early intervention struggle to get families involved in their intervention sessions. How can we help families to understand the crucial role they play in the parent professional partnership? How can we get families not only in the room with us, but on the floor - problem solving and practicing the strategies that are going to support their outcomes between our visits? This inertactive workshop will provide information and practical strategies that providers can use in their day to day work with children and families in early intervention.
