Description

Challenges and Changes in Services and Systems

We each have a responsibility to underserved children, now and in the future. If we face challenges as opportunities, we can expand the potential for all. This panel will share experiences in overcoming obstacles in their practice or regional services. Envision a new way to impact future listening and spoken language families!

During this session, participants will:

Compare their local issues to those presented to identify areas of concern and determine one take-away concern that can be addressed in the coming year.
Describe three key collaborations to support advancing services where they practice.
Identify an area of collaboration to target in order to advance the services in their region.
