WV Birth to Three is pleased to announce the May 2013 Webinar schedule! Child Abuse, Prevention and Treatment Act (CAPTA)   (3 Contact Hours) Research over the past ten years has helped professionals in the field of early childhood begin to broaden our understanding of the influence of genetics and the environment on the development of young children.  Because of this research, Congress, in 2003, enacted legislation to establish formal links between Part C early intervention programs and the state child welfare agencies through the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act.  This session will provide participants the latest research on the effects of: child abuse, neglect and maternal substance abuse on the development of infants and toddlers; current CPS policy for referring CAPTA families to WV Birth to Three; and effective practices for working with children/families engaged with the Child Welfare System.  Monday, May 7, 2013 from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM Please register for the CAPTA Webinar at:  https://student.gototraining.com/r/867203862164905472   Orientation to WV Birth to Three   (3 Contact Hours) Participants will learn the legal and philosophical foundations of Part C of IDEA, how early intervention is implemented in West Virginia, and expectations for practitioners providing services within WV Birth to Three.
