EDUC 0581 - Early Intervention for Young Children with Special Needs


Credits: 3

The purpose of this course is to help students to gain an awareness of how early identification of disabling or potentially disabling conditions, along with appropriate remediation measures, can be the most beneficial way to help children to develop. The course will be divided into four main areas of study: rationale for early intervention and related legislation; research; screening and assessment; and intervention strategies and programs. Although the amount of the time spent in each area of study may vary, each area is of great importance in developing an understanding of the field.

(15 hours of field experience required)
