Hear from Dr. Dana Suskind, a pediatric physician and leading expert on optimizing early brain development.
We invite you to hear from Dr. Dana Suskind and to engage in workshop sessions as we launch Building Strong Brains – Elkhart County’s Early Childhood Initiative.
Dr. Suskind — a leading authority on the role parents and caregivers play in promoting children’s healthy brain development — will discuss how to help children build strong brains with specific focus on early developmental needs.
More than 50 percent of Elkhart County’s children arrive at kindergarten without the necessary tools for success. This initiative is focused on building a comprehensive, systems-based approach to helping children succeed.
