Toddler Play

With the recent changes in the CDC milestone screenings, many of us therapists were left wondering:

  • “Has development changed?”
  • “Are kids really so different these days that we can’t expect them to reach previously accepted milestones?”

Milestones aside, we can probably agree that the world that kids live in today has many differences from the one we grew up in. From tech advances, educational policy changes, and new parenting trends it can feel like we are always a step behind.

Despite these changes, we believe that play is still a critical need for modern-day kids. We believe that there is huge power in mastering strategies for playing and engaging that will get your focus away from checklists and onto the unique child in front of you.

That is exactly what you will be equipped with at the Toddler Play Conference.

Over 4 days you will hear from us and 20 other speakers on everything from developmental scaffolding, barriers to accessing play, and coaching caregivers. Some amazing presentations that you won’t want to miss include things like:

  • “Neuroscience and Play-Based Learning” from Cari Ebert

  • “Child-Led Play” from Kelsie Olds, the Occuplaytional Therapist

  • “Primitive Reflex Integration” with Kokeb McDonald

You can grab your FREE ticket by signing up here.

If you are worried that you won’t be able to listen in on all 20 presentations, consider upgrading your ticket to VIP. It will give you lifetime access to watch all of the videos and you will even be able to listen on your choice podcasting app. Plus 16.5 contact hours for accredited CEUs

Can’t wait to see you there!

"...we believe that play is still a critical need for modern-day kids." I believe play is still a critical need for ADULTS as well, Amy Guttmann! I admire the work you are doing.
