SUMMARY:Turn Everyday Moments into Brain-Building Moments
DESCRIPTION:The Child Health and Development Project: Mississippi Thrive! is a collaborative project of Mississippi State University’s (MSU) Social Science Research Center (SSRC) and the University of Mississippi Medical Center’s (UMMC) Children’s of Mississippi and is funded by the Health Resources Services Administration (HRSA). Our mission is to improve the developmental health for young children (birth to age 5) in Mississippi. About one in six children experience developmental delays\, but thankfully\, identifying and addressing these delays early helps them have more successful outcomes. Our goal is to increase the number of families who experience all elements of a quality developmental health system. In this webinar we will discuss the importance of early childhood brain development and how adults can support young children’s brain architecture using tools like Vroom®. We will also share resources from our website for both families and professionals. When our children thrive\, Mississippi thrives!\n\n\n\nRegister: https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/4517244977316618256

SUMMARY:SSI Benefits for Children: Engaging Families for Successful SOAR Applications

SUMMARY:Procedural Safeguards: What is Child Find?
DESCRIPTION:It can be confusing to know what to do if it seems like a child has a disability that affects their learning and they are not currently receiving special education services. This session goes over what public schools are obligated to do if they become aware of children in this situation and how families can request evaluations for their children if they believe this to be the case. This is the first in a five part series about the procedural safeguards. Participants are welcome to attend any or all of the sessions. This training is appropriate for families and anyone who works with families in any system. \nRegister here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_RnKVLRCPRFy6UBiwv5byrA
