With its fascinating Revolutionary Period history and rich academic tradition, America’s “Cradle of Liberty” will provide the perfect setting for a conference program celebrating the Passion, Pride and Power of the Child Life Community. CLC invites you to register for the premier learning experience for child life specialists, and join the ranks of an anticipated 1,000 professionals, educators, and students united by a common passion and a shared commitment to professional excellence. In Boston, conference attendees will enjoy three days packed with educational opportunities designed to enlighten, engage, and inspire. With a host of seminars and workshops covering a wide variety of hot topics and issues, your biggest challenge may be choosing just one session for each time slot! At the opening general session, TV personality and stress management consultant Loretta LaRouche will apply her trademark humor and energy to the Emma Plank Keynote address. After the opening session, attendees have the opportunity to select from a special series of plenary sessions presented by three nationally recognized speakers: Diane Levin, PhD of Wheelock College; Jayne Singer, PhD, of The Brazelton Touchpoints Center; and Juliette Schlucter, a consultant in the field of family-centered care. The closing general session will feature the Distinguished Service Award presentation, and a dance production performed by The Adaptive Dance Program. A successful joint venture between Boston Ballet and the Department of Physical Therapy at Children’s Hospital Boston, The Adaptive Dance Program is designed to foster a love of dance in children with Down’s syndrome. In addition to thought-provoking educational sessions and events, the Annual Conference offers ample opportunities for attendees to tap into power of the child life community on an unrivaled scale. Connect with exhibitors, colleagues and friends while you refuel at each of the lively meal events taking place in the exhibit hall, and enjoy further opportunities to enhance your professional and personal networks with a free evening on Saturday and the networking roundtable brunch on Sunday. Looking to enhance your conference experience even further? Consider registering for one of several pre-conference intensives taking place on Thursday, including a presentation by internationally noted author, educator and grief counselor Alan Wolfelt, PhD (separate registration fees apply). We look forward to seeing you in Boston for this exciting event! 2 | Child Life Council 27th Annual Conference on Professional Issues
