| Description |
When thinking about the term 'family', many images come to mind. The children and families we serve in the Early Intervention program are unique and diverse for many reasons. In this fun and interactive session, discussions and lecture will focus on this diversity, and the fact that we sould be learning about children in the context of their unique family and systems. Participants will engage in activities and discussions to focus on special considerations for various populations in Early Intervention including: military families, adoptive/foster families, families with same-sex partners, and single/teen parents among others.
Finally and most importantly participants will have a chance to hear directly from the parents to learn firsthand about their experiences in EI via a series of video interviews.A $10 registration fee will be collected at the door. Cash or check/money order payable to the University of Illinois acceptable.
