New Website

Hello there,

For the past 2 years I have been developing my Child Development Club website and this past December I finally re-launched it with a new look, including new bloggers, events, resources, newsletter and more.

We have some great people contributing to the blog, including occupational therapists, music therapists, nutritionists, physical therapists, students, educators, parents and more.

There are pages specific to countries, which list their local resources.

There is an events page for international educational events.

So, if you have any country specific resources that you feel others would benefit from, please send me the links. If you know of any upcoming international conferences that I do not have listed, please send me the links and I will add them. If you would like to guest blog or become a contributing blogger and would like more information, please contact me at laura@childdevelopmentclub.org.

You can sign up for the newsletter on the website: www.childdevelopmentclub.org

I hope you find the resources beneficial.

Thanks,
Laura
