Monthly Webinar Update: March 2023
As we watch the first spring flowers appear from the ground, we are reminded of new beginnings. Babies are all about new beginnings and the potential for growth, development, and hope for the future.
This is a great time of year to offer help to families with all the resources and tools they need to celebrate and support their child’s development.
- Help a family join Baby Navigator so they can track their baby’s milestones from 1 to 24 months and find out how to support their child’s learning in everyday activities with our Social Communication Growth Charts.
- For pediatricians and other primary care providers, apply to have your own Baby Navigator Provider Portal, where we offer new surveillance and screening tools to use with families in your practice and identify children with language and communication delays and autism earlier. Read more. Apply for your own Portal. Apply here.
- Flip through our new 16 Early Signs of Autism Lookbook to learn what signs to look for in children 9 to 16 months of age. Catching communication and language delays early can prevent problems later with behavior, learning, reading, and social interaction.
For professionals working with families, we offer two 6-week webinar series:
- Detecting small gaps early can prevent delays later. Enroll in our course on Social Communication Development in Infants and Toddlers (SC•DIT) and register for our free SC•DIT webinar offered as a 6-week series. The winter series started on February 1st, but you can still join the last 3 sessions on Wednesday, March 1st, 8th, and 15th at 1:00pm ET. For any sessions you miss, you can register for the spring series, which starts on Friday, May 3rd. Learn more and register.
- Coaching Families of Young Children with ASD Using the ESI Model (Spring Series) — this 6-week, evidence-based webinar series starts on Wednesday, March 22nd from 12 noon to 1:30pm ET.
