In the midst of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the interdisciplinary efforts of educators, therapists, policymakers and health professionals are crucial to promoting healthy child development. In response to this need, the Mailman Center for Child Development will host its Innovation and Connection Conference around the theme of “Promoting Early Childhood Development in the Era of COVID: Practice, Policy, and Future Opportunities.”

The conference, to be held virtually on February 8th, 2022, will bring together experts in early childhood development to discuss challenges and opportunities for the care and wellness of young children as they grow up in a pandemic. Speakers will discuss the physical and emotional impacts of COVID-19 on children 0-5 and their families and highlight ways in which early childhood personnel and allied health professionals can better support young children’s well-being and development through practice and policy.

Session topics include language development, early childhood policy, infant mental health, research and the intersection of disability and other lived experiences. Breakout sessions will provide opportunities to network and share ideas on how to promote early childhood development as we move through the pandemic.

The intended audience is early childhood personnel and allied health professionals (e.g., speech, social work, psychology, other therapists) working with young children 0-5 years).
