Step-by-Step

This presentation offers a clear, step-by-step guide to the early identification and intervention process for children with developmental delays (< age 7) and disabilities (>age 7). Participants will learn how to recognize early warning signs, navigate screening procedures, and implement targeted interventions that support a child's growth. The session will provide practical tools and strategies for educators, healthcare providers, and families, emphasizing the collaborative approach needed to ensure timely and effective support. By focusing on a structured and systematic process in collaboration with local education agency professionals, this presentation aims to empower private school professionals and caregivers to make informed decisions that can positively shape the developmental trajectory of children with disabilities.
