Closing the Gap: Helping Professionals See Early Intervention Through a Parent's Perspective
Presented by Artemis Diaz
1 HOUR | SELF-PACED | NON-INTERACTIVE | RECORDED DECEMBER 2026
Parents are often the first to notice a delay, and the last to be heard. This webinar looks at early intervention through a parent's eyes, from the first worry to the first evaluation to the first service plan. Participants will hear what families experience when systems feel confusing, rushed, or full of jargon, and what helps them feel respected and informed. Using parent perspectives and practical examples, we will explore how small shifts in language, timing, and follow-up can build trust and improve participation. You will leave with simple, usable tools to strengthen communication with families, especially those navigating services in a second language or an unfamiliar system.
This course is for Early Childhood Teachers, Therapists, and other Professionals who work with young children.
