The IDEA Infant Toddler Coordinators Association (ICTA), the IDEA 619 Consortium, and the Technical Assistance Center on Social Emotional Intervention for Young Children (TACSEI) have teamed up to develop a “Stepping Stones” webinar series on the social-emotional development of young children. The series was created to respond to the increase in referrals of young children with potential delays in social emotional development and share the growing body of research showing the importance of social emotional development as a stepping stone to positive outcomes for young children. The series’ intended audience is those individuals serving infants, toddlers, and preschoolers with disabilities.
Currently, three webinars and their related resources are posted at the ICTA website, the webinars include: Screening for Social & Emotional Development and Linking to Program Planning, Integrating Early Childhood Social Emotional Development into Early Childhood Systems, and Social Emotional Work in Early Care and Learning Settings: Working Towards a Systems Approach in Kansas.
