EDUC 0225 - CHILD DEVELOPMENT AND EARLY INTERVENTION

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
This course provides an in-depth exploration of child development from birth through early childhood, with an emphasis on the physical, cognitive, social-emotional, and language development milestones. Students will examine developmental theories and current research to understand typical and atypical child development patterns, focusing on the factors that influence growth, such as family, culture, and environment. A key component of the course is the study of early intervention strategies designed to support young children with developmental delays or disabilities. Students will learn evidence-based practices for identifying developmental concerns early and providing targeted interventions that enhance children's development and learning. Special attention will be given to the role of families, educators, and interdisciplinary teams in developing individualized family service plans (IFSPs) and individualized education programs (IEPs) to promote the success of young children with special needs.
