Early Childhood Workforce Development Wednesday, September 7, 2016, 2:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. ET
Webinar Description: The early childhood workforce plays a critical role in successfully including children with disabilities in early childhood programs.

Presenters will discuss current issues related to workforce development and highlight training programs at University Centers for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities.
