Welcome

On behalf of the Wits Centre for Deaf Studies, it is our pleasure to invite you to participate in the 2017 FCEI Africa / Developing World conference. Our aim, is to explore how Family Centred Early Intervention can practically be explored and introduced in a developing setting, through shared ideas, strategies and commitment to families and children in our field. Join us for exciting key note presentations from world renown speakers.

Our preconference sessions will be stimulating and informative, and there will be many opportunities to engage and connect with colleagues endeavouring to promote Family Centred Early Intervention in their communities.

We also invite you to take a look at the various exciting tour options around the Johannesburg area, as well as travel options which will allow you to explore other areas of this magnificent part of the world. Please see the tour tab for further information and to get your planning started!

We look forward to having you spend this wonderful time with us,
