Hemmeter Research Lab

We had such a great time at the Conference on Research Innovations in Early Intervention collaborating and catching up with colleagues and lab alumni!

Several current and former members spent the week in chilly Minneapolis at the annual conference. We enjoyed presenting, learning, connecting, and exploring

to last week when members of our lab traveled to Seattle to participate in the 2023 Northwest Early Learning Pyramid Summit.

ML joined Cree Whelshula and Dr. Martina Whelshula from for the keynote presentation. Throughout the week, our lab enjoyed meeting so many Pyramid champions while presenting about Practice-Based Coaching and new Pyramid Model module content!

We also enjoyed exploring downtown Seattle!
