Expert Practitioners

The expert practitioner team includes nationally recognized professionals from education, mental health, juvenile justice, child welfare, youth and community development, and early intervention. The Center draws upon them to help make sense out of the many ways of thinking, to identify and share new information about practices and approaches, and to ensure that Center products are consistent with practice needs and experience.
