Second Annual Policy Makers' Summit: November 23, 2004

Summary

There were two objectives for the 2004 Policy Makers' Summit :

1. Report research findings about the impact of challenging behavior in young children and policy related barriers to effective services, and
2. Identity strategies for promoting and scaling up effective services and systems

Fifty-five people attended the Summit representing state and federal agencies, national organizations, and researchers. For a complete list of these individuals, please see the Participants List.

Greetings were brought from SAMHSA by Sybil Goldman, Senior Advisor and from OSEP by Stephanie Lee, Director.
