The IDTA is proud to announce our 11th annual conference exclusively for the developmental therapists in the field. This will be an excellent opportunity to connect with your peers, gain tips to further your practice, honor the achievements of  Developmental Therapists with the Wehman Award of Excellence, Benny D Rising Star Award, and celebrate all that has been accomplished in our field.

This Years theme: 

The DT in ME


We are excited to have Dr. Benton Johnson II as our keynote speaker. 





This year, we are excited to have morning breakout sessions after the keynote so that attendees can discover, choose, and learn from a topic of interest!

We will also have a PM speaker close out our day with an interactive presentation about future focused Developmental Therapy.  

Join us as we expand our knowledge of what we as developmental therapists can do to facilitate meaningful interactions for our EI families as they navigate the world around them. Be sure to keep checking our CONFERENCE LANDING PAGE for more details as they come in!

Mark your calendars, book your hotel room, and prepare for a fun and knowledge filled day among your fellow Developmental Therapists.
