Western Regional Early Intervention Conference

The Western Regional Early Intervention Conference (WREIC) is a biennial gathering that serves as a vital platform for professionals dedicated to supporting young children, from birth to age five, who face challenges such as blindness, low vision, deafness, hard of hearing, and deafblindness. For over 35 years, WREIC has played a pivotal role in connecting early intervention providers across the western United States.

The conference is designed to facilitate the sharing of practical strategies, evidence-based practices, and real-world solutions that can enhance services for children and their families. Hosted in rotating locations across the western states, the conference features high-quality sessions led by experienced speakers, providing meaningful opportunities for learning, networking, and collaboration.

Among the session topics are the impact of stress on brain development, particularly in serving Native Americans and tribal communities, as well as strategies for teaching a child's first teacher. The event will take place at the Hilton Denver Inverness in Englewood, United States, offering both face-to-face and virtual experiences to accommodate a diverse audience.
