Connecting Results to Action: Using BDI-3 Data to Inform Intervention

Wednesday, April 1 | 12:00 PM EST

Assessment data is only valuable when it informs intervention. 

This webinar is designed for early intervention professionals, evaluators, and program leaders who use the BDI-3 and want to strengthen the connection between assessment results and real-world decision-making. 

Participants will examine how BDI-3 results support individualized planning, improve report accuracy, and guide meaningful service plan development. Practical examples will illustrate how to translate scores into targeted intervention strategies.
