The Intersection of Attachment Theory and Developmental Neurobiology
This event will bring together professionals across the county to learn about current research in developmental neurobiology, prenatal and perinatal psychology, psychoneuroimmunology, and trauma theory. Presenters will foster discussion on a new way of understanding the behavior of both young children and adults and it's implications. Professionals will look at how they currently engage and support caregivers and identify the importance of acknowledging personal biases, how they share information and what corrections can be made to practices to help families flourish. Small group discussion will include a review of case studies to form the basis for exploration of children's behavior across the spectrum of ages.

3. Participants will be able to describe one neurological or somatic reaction to stress in an infant or toddler, and describe the evolutionary function of such reaction.
4. Participants will be able to write a description-- hypothetical or from their own life or work--of problematic behavior in a young child, along with an explanation of why, all things considered in the life of that child, the behavior makes sense.
