HOW ARE YOU? A Web Discussion about Tele-Intervention

September 1, 2020 • Talks on Tuesdays Webinar

DESCRIPTION: Join this lively web discussion to check in with yourself and other early intervention practitioners about experiences providing tele-intervention over the last 6 months. We will acknowledge the current reality of EI, process what tele-intervention has allowed you to do (differently? better?), share strategies and support for when tele-intervention is hard, and think about the future.
