This webinar will provide information on the research related to two special needs that are becoming more prevalent in the child care setting: Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and ADHD. In addition to research-based information regarding the critical issues you should know about each of these special needs, specific strategies will be provided on how to best work with and serve the children who have these issues in the childcare setting, and their families.

Previously she served as a faculty member at the National Rural Behavioral Health Center at University of Florida, where she focused on child and family mental health, school-based prevention and intervention, teen risk behaviors, and disaster stress.
