Kelly has recently attended the following conferences:

“The Leo M. Croghan Conference is a conference for parents and professionals concerned with the care and development of young children. It seeks to provide professionals and parents with opportunities to learn new techniques, theories and practices from leaders in the field of early intervention for young children at risk for or with developmental delays or disabilities and to associate with others who are committed to learning about the early intervention field. The Leo M. Croghan Memorial Foundation, which sponsors the conference, aims to present information that is evidence-based or informed and that recognizes the importance of early intervention, family-centered service delivery, and collaboration between parents and professionals.”
