Presentation for Families: Early Intervention Makes a Difference!

PLEASE USE THIS TEMPLATE: https://www.mediafire.com/file/f9xpzni6rpaupsl/MSEC6107_Mod3Assign_EINewsletterTemplate.docx/file

Because the professional development session you presented to your colleagues at Happy Heart Childcare Center was so well-received, your director has asked you to take on another challenge. She would like you to develop a newsletter for families at the center that provides insights and information related to early intervention.

You are excited and decide to prepare by doing some research and then generating a list of topics that you want to address in the newsletter. You know that some families may not be familiar with early intervention and the services that may be available to them and their children. So you decide to stat at the beginning, explaining early intervention, addressing some of the misconceptions related to early intervention, and sharing local resources that families can access.

To create your newsletter, follow the prompts in the Early Intervention Family Newsletter Template Download Early Intervention Family Newsletter Template.
