Live Chats at Birth to Three: Expanding Your Early Intervention Toolbox

December 3–15, 2025 | Online Conference

At online conferences, you get the convenience of at-home learning combined with real-time access to speakers. Add these dates and times to your schedule!

All times listed are Eastern time.

This online conference will utilize live video chats, where presenters will address your questions. We encourage you to attend live if at all possible, but if you have a schedule conflict, you can watch a recording of the chat on demand before the last day of the conference. You may report for CE credit for either the live chat or the recording, but not both.
