[On-Demand Webinar] Training That Sticks: Scalable Strategies for Part C & Early Intervention Teams
A Peek Into Our Discussion
A collaborative, solutions-driven conversation with Part C leaders and early intervention experts on building stronger, more compliant, and more sustainable systems. Arkansas will share how they scaled certification and PD from 30 to 235+ completions annually while addressing provider shortages. Florida’s Jessica Meyer will highlight how a statewide coaching model and HIPAA-compliant data practices strengthen compliance and retention. Florida State University’s Kat Cripe and Juliann Woods will add a multi-state and research-based perspective on fidelity, sustainability, and outcomes.
This panel-style session is designed to give early intervention leaders practical strategies for tackling provider shortages, aligning PD and coaching with compliance, and building systems that deliver measurable improvements for children and families.

Meet Your Panelists
Meet the leaders who know exactly what it’s like to juggle compliance requirements, provider needs, and the realities of service delivery. They’ve reimagined training in ways that are practical, scalable, and sustainable. In this session, they’ll share what worked, what didn’t, and how you can apply those lessons in your own program.
