Infant learning summit to be held at Grand Aleutian next week

Friday, October 26 2007

Unalaska, AK – Representatives of Alaska's Early Intervention/Infant Learning Program are holding their second annual summit in Unalaska this coming Monday and Tuesday.

The program is supported by the state Department of Health and Human Services and the Southeast Regional Resource Center (SERRC), and provides resources for parents of children under the age of three who are concerned about their child's development. The summit, which is open to the public, is a discussion forum with local health and social service organizations, which partner with the program to provide services here in Unalaska.

"We're going to be working on collaboration--basically just joining the different agencies to get the word out on what the services are," said program speech therapist Lyn Barela.

The summit takes place at the Grand Aleutian Hotel on Monday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and on Tuesday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. For more information, contact Lyn Barela at lynb@serrc.org.
