Barb O'Neill, Ed.D.
Hi. I'm Barb. I created this event because I envision a world where all early childhood professionals feel confident and skilled at working with children they find challenging.
I love working with the "challenging" kids but I used to go home feeling fed up and questioning my career choice.
Then, I studied theater while also pursuing my Ed.D. in early childhood special ed. I discovered new strategies as well as how to use play to prevent challenging behavior.
This conference brings together what I’ve discovered during 25 years in the field as a teacher, center director and professor combined with cutting edge ideas from other experts.
Let’s transform challenging behavior together.
