This conference is open to anyone on both days. Please register separately for Friday ($45) and Saturday ($30 individuals / $45 for couples). Some information from Friday and Saturday will overlap, but the Friday conference will include Dr. Gottfried Kellermann and neurotransmitter research (read more about him here). Saturday will only be Dr. Karyn Purvis.

Dr. Karyn Purvis is the Director of the Institute of Child Development at Texas Christian University (TCU) in Fort Worth, Texas. During the past decade, she and her colleagues at the Institute have invested their efforts towards developing research-based interventions for at-risk children. Throughout her life, Karyn’s personal and professional calling has been to create a welcoming, loving environment for children who come from "hard places". Foster and adoption issues have always been at the heart of her work, and when her own children were small, she served as foster mother to many children. She serves as expert witness in court cases of child abuse, testifies for state and national legislation, and speaks frequently to national and international groups. Recent trips have taken her to varied groups from trainings for judges and CPS workers, to working in orphanages in Romania.

Why Attend?

  • This workshop is open to everyone and will be very useful for families, professionals and anyone interested in Dr. Karyn Purvis' work and research on sensory integration and attachment.
  • Network and meet other parents and professionals
  • An opportunity to visit Winston-Salem, NC!
