More about this course

Early Childhood/Early Intervention programs are increasing in number nationally for children at risk for developmental delay and those identified with delays and disabilities
Over the past 10 years, rapidly emerging research evidence about children's early development and learning has shown the effectiveness for achieving positive and functional outcomes for children when they are actively engaged and participating in everyday routines and activities as part of family and community life with parents, care-providers and typically developing peers and siblings
To the greatest extent possible, the early intervention/education experiences for young children with disabilities should be provided as early as possible, and in collaboration with family and staff who interact with the children in family homes, community preschools, child care centers and homes, Head Start programs and other inclusive learning environments for young children
