This innovative training curriculum focuses on giving early intervention providers strategies with which to prepare parents and caretakers for their vital role in building healthy brains. The curriculum fills a unique niche by providing a comprehensive understanding of how the brain develops, along with ways the provider can help families encourage healthy brain development in children from birth to 3 years old.

Participants will learn skills and strategies for:

  1.  Understanding infant and toddler brain development (architecture and neurobiology) to inform their practice
  2. Supporting language, cognition, prosocial behavior, and social-emotional development
