    The IDTA is proud to announce our 11th annual conference exclusively for the developmental therapists in the field. This will be an excellent opportunity to connect with your peers, gain tips to further your practice, honor the achievements of Developmental Therapists with the Wehman Award of Excellence, Benny D Rising Star Award, and celebrate all that has been accomplished in our field.

    This Years theme: 

    The DT in ME

    #TheDTinMe

    We are excited to have Dr. Benton Johnson II as our keynote speaker. He will be presenting: "Jazzy Joy in the Journey: Connection, Co-Regulation, and Care from the DT in Me" 


    This presentation will explore how the joy, rhythm, connection and co-regulation influence engagement, relationships, and therapeutic presence within developmental therapy practices. We also have three amazing presenters contributing to our well being and growth as providers. 

    Jessica Kazaniwskyj presents "DT-Who Am I Becoming-Expanding Your Impact Without Losing Yourself".

    Sabrina Robertson presents "Reigniting Purpose, Restoring Confidence, Building Confidence and Renewing Purpose in the Work You Do".

    Daniel Stidham presents "The Necessity of Emotional Intelligence"  


    Join us as we expand our knowledge of what we as developmental therapists can do to facilitate meaningful interactions for our EI families as they navigate the world around them. Be sure to keep checking our CONFERENCE LANDING PAGE for more details as they come in!

    Mark your calendars, book your hotel room, and prepare for a fun and knowledge filled day among your fellow Developmental Therapists.
