Key Practices for Early On:
This training will focus on partnerships with families and strategies for support.  Key Practices will address how to meet requirements while building relationships with families, what does family-centeredness look like in practice and what is most important in your work with families.

Building on the content addressed in the online Early On 101 training, this full-day, face-to-face training offers the opportunity to reflect on the complexity and promise of providing effective support to diverse families who are receiving Early On services.    Practical strategies which promote parent-professional partnerships will also be explored through the training of the Dance of Partnership: Why do my feet hurt?. Participants will gain an understanding of the unique dimensions which complicate this partnership—from the dual perspectives of parent and provider.   The facilitators use mini-lectures, video clips, reflection, and interactive learning activities to ensure a lively and thoughtful experience and exchange of ideas.
