ED 613A.OL1 Infant Toddler Growth and Development

(3 credits)
The first course is designed to provide professionals with in-depth knowledge about the typical and atypical development of children, birth through age 3. Specific age-appropriate developmental characteristics and milestones across all domains (social, emotional, physical, and cognitive) are discussed and connected to practical application in the field. Review and discussion of theoretical concepts related to ITMH is included as well as family and cultural influences and attitudes and their effect on development. Participants reflect, revise and amend their professional practice and their understanding and application of developmental knowledge. The 20-hour practicum is completed in a family or educational setting and requires supervisor approval.
