Conference Description

We are pleased to invite you to attend the 30th annual OAICD conference hosted by Children First. Our theme this year is The Power of Relationships: Families, Professionals and Policymakers. The conference will bring together theory, research and implications for clinical practice in early intervention. It will provide great opportunities for sharing among the inter and multidisciplinary teams that work with infants, young children, fellow professionals in allied disciplines, families, communities and policy makers. The presentations and professionals will cover a broad range of relevant topic areas related to family-centred practice, collaboration and partnerships, ecology and intervention, culturally responsive practices, maternal mental health, parent child relationships in the early years and much more.

Who Should Attend?

This conference will be of interest to all those who work with young children and/or families. A forum for networking, education and professional development will be provided for Infant and Child Development Consultants, Therapists, Psychometrists, Resource Teachers and Consultants, Early Childhood Educators, Infant Mental Health Specialists, Child Welfare Professionals and the Community. Professionals will not only obtain current knowledge of the topic but will take strategies back to apply in their service delivery.
