(3 credits)
The fourth course is designed to provide participants with essential skills and knowledge to become effective communicators and consultants for families, caregivers and other professionals who work with children from birth to age 3. Students learn how to promote the socio-emotional development of infants and toddlers through the collaboration with adult caregivers and professionals. Participants in this course will understand the roles and responsibilities of a mental and behavioral health consultant. They also gain knowledge on legislative mandates regarding infant and toddler mental health and identify resources for families and professionals at the local, state, and national levels. Systematic reflection on their own professional practice allows students to develop leadership skills to support other professionals, families and young children. The 20-hour practicum is to be completed in a family or educational setting and requires supervisor approval.
