    Responding To Vulnerability Using Developmental Program Plans For Infants

    Presenter: Chaya Kulkarni, BAA, M.Ed, Ed.D., Director, Infant Mental Health Promotion (IMHP)

    Day 2 of this series will focus on using the information gathered about an infant, toddler or preschooler’s developmental status and the context of the relationships surrounding the child to create an individualized developmental program plan for the child. Developmental program plans can be used as an interim strategy to support development while awaiting clinical services. The Developmental Plans provide caregivers with activities to foster a child’s development based on the child’s individual needs. The plans are developed and informed by the screening and formulation outlined in part 1. This day will highlight the new IMHP “Help Me Grow: Developmental Program Plan” tools and describe how they can be used to foster a child’s development with special thought given to mental health needs. The plans can also be implemented in care and therapeutic access, with foster families and more.

    Advance registration is required. Please note - Participants MUST register for both sessions.
