TMW-Pediatrics

Because of pediatric providers’ unique access to parents during the first three years of life, there is a critical opportunity within pediatric offices to help parents understand the importance of talk and interaction while their child is young, preventing disparities early. To help providers take advantage of this vital early access, the TMW Center has created TMW-Pediatrics.

TMW-Pediatrics is an online Continuing Medical Education (CME) course for pediatric providers that reviews emerging research related to children’s early language environments and shares tips and strategies to strengthen parental beliefs and skills.
