The Institute offers a variety of training, professional development, and parent/caregiver education opportunities across the country. Delivered by our carefully selected and highly talented National Lecture Staff (NLS), our workshops and seminars provide a comprehensive program for staff development, in-service training, and/or parent and family education.

Our well-known and beloved Gesell Developmental Observation - Revised (GDO-R) training workshops for educators have been offered for decades, but are constantly being updated and revised to meet the needs of today’s schools. Our full-day, half-day, and one-hour seminars, along with parent education or information workshops, are also very popular and work well in tandem with the GDO-R workshop or as stand-alone offerings. See our catalog for additional details.

Along with Gesell Developmental Observation – Revised materials, our classic parenting books continue to be in high demand throughout the country. Also available are updated informational booklets and child behavior pamphlets for parents and teachers; a web-based radio program for parents and professionals; and a DVD, Ready for Kindergarten, featuring interview footage with nationally recognized early childhood experts, parents, and master teachers.
