This course explores the major differences in the degree to which various intellectual abilities and behaviors are valued, and hence, emphasized by different cultures. Students examine how various abilities are viewed by the family and in turn emphasized and/or de-emphasized as ability worth learning (e.g., some cultures value silence and listening while others value language verbosity). Students study the relationship of family values to education systems and processes and explore ways in which intellectual skills valued by diverse groups can be integrated into the process of educating typical and atypical, birth to kindergarten children.

This course takes a relationship-based, developmental approach to observation, screening, and assessment of children from birth through age three. Assessment is viewed as an integral part of the intervention process and as a collaboration between parents and providers. Students are trained to focus on underlying developmental processes as well as the appearance of individual milestones in cognitive, social/emotional, communication, and sensory and motor development. Students are guided in partnering with parents to assess the child's strengths and challenges to development, and to identify the family's priorities for services.Selected screening tools, standardized tests, and criterion-referenced instruments are reviewed. Students receive introductory training in one screening and one assessment tool, including administration, interpretation, referral, and recommendations for developmental intervention. The rationale and practices for screening, referral, and assessment in various infant/toddler settings (e.g., child care, Early Head Start, early intervention) are examined.
