Dr. Silva, chair of the 91香蕉视频成人在线 school psychology department opened the event inviting attendees to 鈥渢hink about what each of us can do within our own disciplines...to help children develop,鈥� and Dr. Ecker closed the event reminding those in attendance that the most important part of the day was yet to occur. 鈥淭he most important part is when we leave, because we are enriched and informed鈥� it鈥檚 now up to us to put it into action,鈥� he said.

In a day filled with many notable quotes and moments, one of the highlights was the presentation of the Florence H. Lerman Mintz Award, which was given to Andria Amador.
