Every Child Conference 2020 – 4th Edition

The impact of Covid-19

Strategies and Supports

The Language and Culture Commission of Com.It.Es. San Francisco together with Every Child and Early Days Autism Center is proud to present the 4th edition of Every Child Conference.

Every Child Conference 2020 is titled The impact of Covid-19: Strategies and Supports. This year’s intent is to offer an opportunity to share the successful stories of policy experts, school leaders, researchers, and educators during the Covid emergency.

More than any other time in our recent history, we are aware of what is truly “essential” for every child and especially for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. We are all concerned about the significant impact the Covid-19 public health crisis is likely to have on our children’s early development and early childhood education.

This year we’ve compiled a series of presentations to provide innovative strategies and supports for families and educators and to support the needs of every child. The discussion will be led by experts in Italy and the US who have created opportunities for training educators, clinicians, and inclusion proponents in this new reality.
