The U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) will be hosting the Smart Beginnings 2024 webinar series August 27 – 29, 2024.  The webinars will provide participants with the opportunity to learn about resources for supporting children with disabilities as we head into a new learning year.

Smart Beginnings is a three-day virtual mini-conference designed to help families, providers, and leaders better support and promote developmental outcomes and educational excellence for infants, toddlers, children and youth with disabilities and their families. K-12 educators, early childhood personnel, related services providers, administrators, and families are invited to learn more about improving academic and developmental outcomes, expanding family engagement, and advancing equity.
