Every Child Can Fly: Powerful Partnerships in Early Intervention |

Plus, research has shown that collaboration creates a collective intelligence that is greater than the sum of its parts. These are powerful partnerships! How can we learn together using our own unique perspectives? What are the most important components in collaborative partnerships? What makes for a successful partnership? Let’s discuss! In this session, Jani will share personal stories, current research and evidence-based strategies for collaborating together to foster high-quality learning environments for children with and without delays or disabilities.

Care-Providers Are People Too: Using Daily Routines to Embed Opportunities to Support and Learn |
Wellbeing of Care-providers and Those We Serve People who care for individuals with Autism, Developmental Disorders, and/or Intellectual Disabilities (i.e., care-providers) are frequently under a great deal of stress. Despite this stress, they are often asked to adhere to procedures for which they may have no formal training including behavioral interventions, medical interventions, speech/language interventions, occupational and physical therapy, and many others. It is often assumed that care-providers are well positioned to implement this wide range of interventions without coaching, support or feedback. The presenter, who is a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst, will make a case that expectations for care-providers can and should be managed (at least in the area of behavioral interventions) such that expectations are much more reasonable, without compromising the learning and well-being of the child. He will cite and explain the vast literature base supporting simplified, fun, healthy, and engaging activities that consider the wellbeing of care-providers along with the wellbeing of individuals we serve. Presenter: Dr. Timothy R. Vollmer, Ph.D., BCBA-D, University of Florida Target Audience: This webinar is designed for Infant Toddler and Preschool Early Interventionists and Family Support/Home Visiting Staff.
