	DEC RECOMMENDED PRACTICES INSTITUTE Presented by Brookes On Location & the Division for Early Childhood (DEC) April 20–21, 2009 How can you use DEC's nationally recognized Recommended Practices to improve your work with children and families?

You'll leave the institute ready to • assess your current practices • apply Recommended Practices in key areas, including assessment, working with families, and child-focused strategies • improve children's social competence, behavior, communication, problem-solving skills, and more • embed Recommended Practices seamlessly into your schedule • ensure that the services you provide improve outcomes

	2009 EARLY CHILDHOOD TOOLS INSTITUTE Presented by Brookes On Location April 22–24, 2009 Choose from seminars on the popular ASQ screening system (including the new edition, ASQ-3™) and the curriculum-based assessments AEPS® & AEPSi™ and TPBA2/TPBI2. In these engaging, interactive seminars, you'll • optimize the early intervention tools you already use • get in-depth information that only the tool developers and other expert instructors can provide • enjoy small classes that let you talk personally with your instructors • practice what you learn with easy access to expert help • share insights and advice with a wide range of other professionals—early interventionists, educators, child care providers, speech-language pathologists, administrators, and more
