Building Brains (CD)

Early brain development literature has been building over the past 20 years.  For workers and agencies, the task of researching and developing evidence then applying into practice can be daunting and time consuming.  This package presents key messages about early brain development and the early years in a user friendly and accessible format.  It includes workbook, facilitator notes, points for discussions and activities in 3 modules that may be presented separately or as one session.
