ECSE 222 - Infant Development & Intervention with Assistive Technology

Institution:

Daemen University

Subject:

Description:

This course will prepare students to understand and appreciate the complex developmental issues and comprehensive interdisciplinary service needs of infants who are disabled or are at risk for a disability, and their families. From an educational perspective, it is impossible to view the needs and goals for the young child apart from those of the family. Early intervention (EI) services are now found throughout the United States, and recent research on brain development highlights the unique characteristics and needs of infants and the critical role of their caregivers in fostering optimal growth and development. The transactional model of EI emphasizes the importance of the continual and progressive interactions between the infant and the environment and is an essential position of the course objectives. Current research on the use of assistive technology in facilitating the infant’s interactions with the environment will also be explored and incorporated into class discussions and assignments. A field experience is provided. Offered Each Year (Spring).
