This free webinar is for pediatricians, family physicians, physician assistants, nurses, speech-language pathologists, psychologists, social workers, behavior health specialists, other health care providers in primary care, service coordinators, and other team members in early childhood education and early intervention systems serving babies from birth to 24 months of age.
What will this webinar cover?
This webinar will (1) highlight Baby Navigator resources for families, (2) offer guidance on how you can invite families to Baby Navigator for surveillance & screening, and (3) provide practical strategies on using our Conversational Steps to build consensus with families on the early signs of language delay and autism and to engage families in using Baby Navigator and Autism Navigator online tools and courses.
Baby Navigator is for families to find out what it takes for their baby to learn to talk, how to support their baby’s learning in everyday activities that they’re already doing, and how to track your baby’s development from birth to their 2nd birthday. Families who join will be invited to our online resources and tools tailored to their child’s age. Click to learn more about why families should join Baby Navigator.
