Interconnections Worldwide Working internationally to share information, help build knowledge and support teamwork around babies, children and young people who are disabled, marginalised or vulnerable The home of Team Around the Child (TAC) and the Multiagency Keyworker |
Many of the program topics and research will be presented for the first time, revealing the latest evidence, findings and applications in the classroom.
This conference will help to bridge the gap between research and practice
– putting evidence-informed programs into our classrooms and schoolyards to provide the best possible outcomes for children and young people on the autism spectrum across Australia.
The Young Child Expo & Conference began in 2003 as a joint professional development project of Fordham University’s Graduate School of Education and Los Niños Services. Our goal is simple – to provide useful information to professionals and parents in order to help all young children learn, grow and reach their full potential.
Our New York City conference will take place at the Wyndham New Yorker Hotel in New York City in April 13-15, 2016.
Contact us if you would like to bring the Young Child Expo & Conference to your city or country.
SWAN UK (Syndromes Without A Name) is the only dedicated support for families of children with undiagnosed genetic conditions in the UK. Approximately 6,000 children are born every year with a genetic condition that is likely to remain undiagnosed. Without a diagnosis it is difficult for families to know what the future holds for their child – if they will walk, talk or even what their life expectancy will be.
On Friday 29 April we will be holding our annual awareness day, Undiagnosed Children’s Day
Undiagnosed Children’s Day is a chance to inform people as well as reaching out and letting families know that they aren’t alone and support is out there. Just a small activity can make a big impact. Maybe you’d like to fundraise for SWAN UK by doing a bake sale, a sponsored challenge event, getting your child’s school involved in a mufti day or reaching out to your local shopping centre to see how they might get involved. We’d also love to have you involved in the lead up and on the day on social media.

Laura Wendt writes: I am a student of 'Transdisciplinary early childhood intervention' at the MSB Medical School Berlin, Germany. During my study I have to absolve an internship of approximately 6 months duration. My aim is to absolve this internship in the United Kingdom or Ireland.
The main focus of my course of study is predominantly on pedagogical aspects. In addition it includes more specific topics, such as medical basics, diagnostics and methods used in early childhood intervention. It is centred especially on children of the age from around 0-6 with developmental disorders, developmental irregularities or disabilities - both physical and mental and their social surroundings.
I think that the approach of the Team Around the Child is a very interesting way to work with the families and fits perfectly with the methods that I learn in my course of study. I am very interested in the work with children with special needs and disabilities, their families and their other socials surroundings.
I am hoping now to learn of institutions where I can apply for an internship.
