"Development is a Journey: A Conversation Roadmap for Talking with Families" is a three-hour course that will take place on June 13.

Early identification and intervention are critical to promote a child's development. However, developmental screening results and concerns can cause anxiety for families and providers. Brazelton Touchpoints Center has developed a tool to help providers have collaborative and productive conversations with families about developmental screening results.

In this workshop, participants will:

• Explore the seven steps in the roadmap tool

• Learn strategies to engage parents and families in the developmental screening process

• Practice having conversations about developmental screening results that honor families' perspectives, cultures, and values

• Learn strategies to elicit parents' observations of their children's strengths as well as their concerns about their children's behavior and development

• Practice sharing their own observations of children's behavior with parents

• Practice next steps when a developmental screener yields reason for concern

The live, interactive webinar will run from noon to 3 p.m. ET and 9 a.m. to noon PT on Thursday, June 13. The cost of the course is $85. Certificates will be provided. For more information, visit Brazelton Touchpoints Center's page for the event.
