SUMMARY:Connecting the Dots: Upstream Causes and Downstream Consequences of Disparities in Access to Early Support Services
DESCRIPTION:“One of the things we consistently see in pediatrics is that children of color get less of everything.” \n– Katharine Zuckerman\, Associate Professor of Pediatrics at Oregon Health & Science University. \nIn Washington and across the country\, we see persistent racial disparities in access to early support services. White children are significantly more likely than BIPOC children to receive these vital supports\, and the downstream consequences on health\, well-being\, and community inclusion are significant. Early support services sit at the nexus of health care\, education\, and other systems pervaded by systemic racism. \nOrganizations\, like people\, are shaped by these factors and need strong\, proactive strategies to bring equity to life and disrupt the cycles of systemic harm. Individually\, organizationally\, and as a field\, we all have a role to play in creating the conditions for equity\, removing barriers to access\, and improving the experiences BIPOC children and families have in early support services. \nIn this workshop\, we’ll take a deep dive into the early support landscape to understand the environmental factors that contribute to racial disparities\, the consequences for BIPOC babies and children\, and the steps every organization\, provider\, and community member can take to co-create a more just future.

SUMMARY:From Early Social Interactions to Language Development: Brain-to-Brain Synchrony and Natural Social Stimuli
DESCRIPTION:From birth\, infants engage in rich social interactions that rely on both verbal cues (e.g.\, caregiver speech) and nonverbal signals (e.g.\, body odors). My research examines how early multisensory social input shapes social brain development and supports later language outcomes. \nIn earlier work\, I investigated social chemosignaling in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Using subliminal presentation of natural (fear-related body odor) and synthetic chemosignals\, I demonstrated altered autonomic and behavioral responses in adults with autism\, suggesting that atypical processing of social olfactory cues may contribute to difficulties in social communication. \nExtending this work to early development\, I examined how maternal chemosignals influence infant social behavior and neural coupling. Using ecological interaction paradigms and dual-EEG\, I found that exposure to maternal body odor enhances infant–adult brain-to-brain synchrony\, increases attention to faces\, and promotes positive arousal and approach behavior during interactions with an unfamiliar adult. To examine whether mother–infant inter-brain synchrony is influenced by maternal behavior\, I examined its association with two well-studied maternal behavioral orientations: sensitivity and intrusiveness. I found that higher maternal sensitivity was associated with greater mother–infant neural synchrony. Maternal sensitivity has consistently been linked to positive socio-emotional outcomes and language development. \nMy current research focuses on how early caregiver–infant interactions support language development. In longitudinal studies\, I found that maternal sensitivity\, infant-directed speech (IDS)\, and conversational turn-taking as early as 3 months predict language outcomes in the third year of life. Furthermore\, early brain-to-brain synchrony between caregivers and infants predicts later language outcomes and mediates the association between maternal sensitivity and language development. \nTogether\, this work identifies the importance of early social interactions for social development and language acquisition\, and highlights brain-to-brain synchrony as a potential mechanism linking early caregiving to long-term developmental outcomes.

SUMMARY:Practicing Disability Pride - Fostering Self-Love in Children with and without Disabilities
DESCRIPTION:Disabled children are whole. Disabled children are powerful. Disabled children are worthy of unconditional love and unwavering respect. The implicit and explicit messages that we send about disability have important consequences for young children’s developing identities and their sense of belonging. When disability is consistently framed as a deficit\, a problem in need of intervention\, or a taboo subject to be silenced\, children with and without disabilities learn and experience ableism. Disability pride interrupts these harmful narratives and points us toward greater self-love and a more inclusive future. Disability pride is about honoring the fullness of human diversity\, uplifting the power and history of the disability community\, and celebrating every person’s right to be seen\, valued\, and respected exactly as they are. \nThis half-day workshop is an opportunity to explore disability as an identity\, with its own communities and cultures. Participants will reflect on narratives and assumptions about disability\, collaboratively explore the power of shifting from an anti-ableist lens to a disability-affirming one\, and identify opportunities to explicitly and implicitly nurture disability pride. All backgrounds and levels of experience are welcome! Register now.

SUMMARY:From Early Social Interactions to Language Development: Brain-to-Brain Synchrony and Natural Social Stimuli
DESCRIPTION:From birth\, infants engage in rich social interactions that rely on both verbal cues (e.g.\, caregiver speech) and nonverbal signals (e.g.\, body odors). My research examines how early multisensory social input shapes social brain development and supports later language outcomes. \nIn earlier work\, I investigated social chemosignaling in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Using subliminal presentation of natural (fear-related body odor) and synthetic chemosignals\, I demonstrated altered autonomic and behavioral responses in adults with autism\, suggesting that atypical processing of social olfactory cues may contribute to difficulties in social communication. \nExtending this work to early development\, I examined how maternal chemosignals influence infant social behavior and neural coupling. Using ecological interaction paradigms and dual-EEG\, I found that exposure to maternal body odor enhances infant–adult brain-to-brain synchrony\, increases attention to faces\, and promotes positive arousal and approach behavior during interactions with an unfamiliar adult. To examine whether mother–infant inter-brain synchrony is influenced by maternal behavior\, I examined its association with two well-studied maternal behavioral orientations: sensitivity and intrusiveness. I found that higher maternal sensitivity was associated with greater mother–infant neural synchrony. Maternal sensitivity has consistently been linked to positive socio-emotional outcomes and language development. \nMy current research focuses on how early caregiver–infant interactions support language development. In longitudinal studies\, I found that maternal sensitivity\, infant-directed speech (IDS)\, and conversational turn-taking as early as 3 months predict language outcomes in the third year of life. Furthermore\, early brain-to-brain synchrony between caregivers and infants predicts later language outcomes and mediates the association between maternal sensitivity and language development. \nTogether\, this work identifies the importance of early social interactions for social development and language acquisition\, and highlights brain-to-brain synchrony as a potential mechanism linking early caregiving to long-term developmental outcomes. Register now. \nYAARA ENDEVELT\, PhD\n \nDr. Yaara Endevelt-Shapira is a Research Scientist at the Institute for Learning and Brain Sciences (I-LABS) at the University of Washington. Her research focuses on human social interactions and social neurodevelopment\, using behavioral and neurophysiological methods to measure interpersonal behavioral and neural synchrony between infants and adults during natural interactions. \nDr. Endevelt-Shapira earned her B.Sc. in Food Engineering and Biotechnology from the Technion\, Israel Institute of Technology. She completed her M.Sc. and Ph.D. in the Department of Neurobiology at the Weizmann Institute of Science\, where she worked with Prof. Noam Sobel on olfaction and social chemosignaling in autism spectrum disorders. She then conducted her postdoctoral training at the Center for Developmental Social Neuroscience at Reichman University\, working with Prof. Ruth Feldman on social chemosignaling during early development\, including the use of dual-EEG to assess adult–infant inter-brain synchrony. \nHer work has shown that exposure to maternal body odor during interaction with an unfamiliar female increased brain-to-brain synchrony as well as infant’s visual attention to faces\, positive arousal\, and approach behavior. In addition\, maternal behaviors\, such as sensitivity and intrusiveness during face-to-face interactions\, are associated with levels of inter-brain synchrony between mothers and infants. In her current research\, she employs longitudinal designs to examine how early caregiver–infant interactions at 3 months of age\, parental speech input and responsiveness\, as well as brain-to-brain synchrony\, and physiological measures (e.g.\, heart rate) relate to later language development and school readiness.

SUMMARY:Indigenous Beats\, Indigenous Songs: The Connection between Music and Early Learning and Development\, Part II
DESCRIPTION:Songs and music play a big part in the growth and development of our Indige-babies! In Season Two of Turtle Talk\, we started a conversation about Indigenous Beats\, Indigenous Songs; in that episode (aired November 2025)\, we explored samples of Indigenous children’s songs and opened pathways to wondering how Indigenous beats can be restored to our families and communities. In this episode\, we build on our first conversation to discover the ways families can create music together\, understand the impact of songs and music on children’s development\, and envision how music can be a significant way to develop and inspire children’s voices\, connecting them to our ancestors\, culture\, and language. \nTurtle Talk is back! We invite Native parents\, teachers\, and caregivers\, along with those working with Native children and families and those interested in the work of raising our Indigenous children\, to join us for the third season of Turtle Talk: Collectively Raising Indige-babies\, a BTC Family-to-Family Real Talk virtual conversation series! \nAll episodes are free and open access — register today for one or all conversations! All are welcome! \nThe series is convened by the Indigenous Early Learning Collaborative (IELC) Institute and is a fun way to engage parents and families in thinking forward about how we collectively raise Indigenous children and babies in a contemporary and fast-growing technological\, global\, Indigenous society. Turtle talk refers to our animal relatives speaking with one another and with us. The play on Indigenous babies\, “Indige-babies” for short\, in the title calls us to look just over the horizon and ask ourselves\, “What will the world be like for our babies/children and families? How does being raised in this fast-evolving world with the increasing demand of digital\, technological\, and cultural engagement impact our traditions and approaches to raising our babies?”

SUMMARY:Behavior and Belonging: Race\, Innocence\, and Restorative Justice in Early Childhood
DESCRIPTION:This two-part professional learning series explores how assumptions about race\, innocence\, and ability shape adult responses to children’s behavior and contribute to exclusion and pushout in early childhood settings. \nIn the first session\, participants examine how innocence is unevenly granted\, how compliance-based practices and micro-interactions escalate conflict\, and how adult bias and adultification influence the interpretation of behavior. \nThe second session focuses on brain science\, stress\, and co-regulation\, moving participants toward restorative\, equity-centered strategies that support belonging and prevent expulsion. \nParticipants will leave with reflective tools and an action plan to shift from control-based approaches to relational\, restorative practices that center all children’s dignity\, development\, and inclusion. \nLearn more and register.
