Tuesday, September 22, 2026

12:00 PM-1:00 PM

Zoom

Presented by Nebraska Resource Project for Vulnerable Young Children

Join our Fall Webinar Series exploring key topics in early childhood development. Featuring insights from Nebraska experts, you will gain practical knowledge on recognizing early signs of developmental concerns, understanding the impact of trauma, and supporting healthy growth and development.

All sessions will be held virtually via Zoom from 12-1 p.m. (CT).

Continuing Education: Attendees will receive a certificate of attendance, agenda, and handouts, which can be used for submitting and requesting CE credit on their own.

Registration is free and open to all professionals!

During this session, we will review common developmental delays seen in early childhood and examine three specific pediatric conditions and their associated delays. The goal is not being able to diagnose specific problems but rather recognize when further assessment may be warranted and then understanding what therapies or supportive interventions may be pursued.

Objectives:

In this webinar, we will:

  • Discuss supportive therapies and evaluations to treat developmental delays.
  • Review Down syndrome (Trisomy 21) and associated delays.
  • Review autism and associated delays.
  • Review fetal alcohol syndrome and associated delays.

Audience: 

This event is directed toward professionals who work with young children.
